Hello forum. I have a 1999 Durango, 4 wheel drive, and 5.2 engine. I'm trying to find the torque Pattern/ sequence for the timing chain cover and water pump bolts. I recently replaced the water pump due to bad bearings. I pressure tested the cooling system and went over the pump and chain cover areas with a spray bottle with soapy water. It was leaking between the chain cover and engine block where the 4 long water pump bolts are located. I removed the chain cover, cleaned the chain cover and block . My after market manual gives the torques but not the torque Pattern. Does anyone have that? Thanks

 

Just do 'em like lug nuts. Crisscross pattern, and tighten in stages.

 

...and put some coolant tolerant RTV on the threads of the long bolts that go into the water jacket.

 

Yes. This.
