Position the water pump along with its new gasket by inserting the 4 bolts and 2 nuts into place then tighten to 8 Nm while ensuring oil does not touch the gasket.

After adding engine coolant to the system you should start the engine while checking for any signs of leakage and finally verifying the engine coolant amount.
