Water pump bolts

[SpoolinUp69]

Hey everyone. I have a 91 Plymouth laser rs and for some reason the water pump pulley bolts keep coming out. Should I use lock tite on them or some thread sealer? It has broke down due to this problem wit the last owner. This is my first fwd car and I didn't know if there was a trick to this. Its a little bit different than working my chevys. Thanks

You can use Loc-tite and/or a lock washer to keep the bolts from loosening.

Yep that and make sure you have them in the correct hole as they're different lengths. A too long one may bottom out and never hold the pump tight.

I would not recommend using the high strength locktite. You will break those bolts when it comes time to do the water pump. Use the blue (forgot the part number) loctite and torque the bolts to spec. That should keep the bolts from backing out on you.
