Use Never-Seize on new bolts. Put the water pump and water distribution pipe back in with new seals and hoses. BEFORE you put the intake manifold back on fill the cooling system, bleed and pressure test. Use silicone gasket sealer on the "O" ring seals. Make sure it says "Sensor Safe" on the tube. Put a small amount on your finger and smear it onto the "O" rings. Just be careful a particle of dirt does not get onto it before you assemble and the "O" rings do not move out of place.
