Default Water pump bolts for 2001 3.9 V6

What is the best way to verify which water pump bolts go into water jackets in order to put sealant during install of a new water pump? My Chilton's manual does not say anything about that.
Thank you,
Mike

It's actually the long ones but putting it on all won't hurt a thing!

The four corners; 2 on either side of the ducting. Or as mentioned, the long ones. should be for @ 3 inches long and several only 1 inch long.
