missing PS pump bolts, is this okay?
so I replaced my water pump on my 91 RS, 3.1.
ofcourse the PS pump was on the way so I took it out of the way.
now the bolts that attaches the PS pump to the head(or upper block?)
seems stripped.
I was wondering if I can get away with that..
PS pump has 1 bolt that attaches to the water pump,
and 2 nuts holds the pump in place through brackets.
so with those 3bolts attached,
is that 1 bolt that directly bolts to head absolutely necessary?

Re: missing PS pump bolts, is this okay?
hey 1stfirebird thx again.
I just finished puttin the new water pump in,
but I couldn't seem to align the PS brackets
and screw in that 1 bolt to the head,
and ofcourse the thread went bad..
I feel lazy caz even if the thread was good I feel like it's still a PITA to
align the hole and the bolt and screw them in
so I was just wondering..
but if its possibly connected to the oil passage I should go buy a bolt.. thanks!
