Im going to install a new water pump and radiator...

I have this reverse rotating water pump BOSCH That I got for my Camaro and im going to buy a new RADIATOR, because my current one is leaking real bad even after I sealed it. I want to know after removing the water pump, and during the installation of the new water pump, how hard do I tighten the bolts? hand tight? or snug tight or what?

I don't wanna rip the gaskest or cause them to leak. This will be my first time changing the water pump, any help and comments are much appreciated
Thanks

You want them tight I mean you dont have to have a torque wrench or anything but you want them tight you will not rip the gaskets unless you are doing something really wrong. Also use some gasket sealant one the gasket but not a lot just kinda coat it (HIGH TEMP). But back to the question 3/8 ratchet kinda tight
