Hey guys,
Question regarding water pump bolts. When I bought the water pump there were two bolts holding the water pump to the plate, which then gets bolted to the block. Do I keep those two bolts where the water pump bolts to the plate in.



There are 2 bolts on the reverse side of the picture that hold the gasket between the pump and plate...

bolts get removed ? yes or no?

-Thanks
