Default 01 water pump

hey guys..

Ok in the process of replacing the water pump, as well as removed the timing chain cover

some were along the lines, i may have mixed up the bolts on the pump....

I have everything bolted up except for the last bolt on the pump, and it will not go all the way in..... in fact for some reason i think its the wrong bolt? if any one could tell me which bolts go were i would appreate it...i m almost sure i have it right...but this last one is 4 inchs long, and starts threading the 1first inch, and bottoms out befor it hits the pump


the order that i have is as following

Top bolt , dirrectly over the pump and pull - Small , about 1.5 inches or so (also its a torx, head )
moving clock wise around to the drivers side.... the next 2 bolts, by the water jackets are 4inch bolts

the bottom bolt is 1.5 inches

moving back up clock wise - this is the one i have the problem

the next and last is a 4inch bolt?

is this correct?

too late to help, but take a look at your old pump, and see where the water inlet/outlets are, and notice how those bolts go through the thick part of the pump, and all the way into the block. those are the long ones. put a little rtv on those threads to prevent leaks. the shorter bolts go in the thinner sections.
