Go to ACE hardware and buy a new set of bolts to swap out the old WP bolts, there are 2 sizes and also one longer one for the timing cover, using the old bolts almost gaurantees that one or more will snap off in the block next time.
Put PTFE pipe sealant on the threads this will keep coolant from leeching into the holes and corroding the bolts into the block

Merlin...just saw this advice today while at work and was wondering if you could knew those bolt sizes off the top of your head. I pass an ACE hardware on my way home and would like to pick those up. Also... not to sound dumb, but when you're referencing the pivot bushings are those the two white sleeves with the split that were on the bolt that secures the belt tensioner into the roller on the water pump? Where would I even find something like that...ACE? Or is this going to be a special order part?
Thanks
