I think that stainlet steel are not hard stress fasteners.

Another question: When you install a refurbished water pump is it necesary to run the engine with out water for a little 2 minutes in order to seat the seal?

Thanks!!

I would not run it without coolant. If you have a good quality replacement water pump, it should not leak.
