Water pump bolts
 
During a visual inspection the other day I noticed that some of the bottom bolts on my water pump are oxidizing.

Question:

Can I take one bolt out, clean it up, and tighten it back up without disrupting the existing gasket seal?

Is there a type of bolt/metal that would prevent this from happening again?

Is there a torque spec for a water pump bolt?

Thanks

BR-

1. Depending on which bolt it is, you should be able to.
2. A stainless steel bolt would do the trick.
3. I'm sure there is, but I don't know what it is. Before taking it off, put a torque wrench on it and see what it's currently torqued to and just re-install to the same torque.

Or you could just take a little steel wool and wd-40 and clean it up.
