Water pump

All,

do any of the water pump mount bolts need to be installed wet with RTV? 351M power plant
I searched the forum but didn’t find it.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but I have never put any RTV on my WP bolts.

None of them go into a water jacket so they should all go into dry holes.

Is that what you are asking?

I think they are exposed to engine oil in the timing chain area.
