An update and a few questions

The water pump is out and the heads are being checked for trueness.  I had
to apply a bit of JB Weld to the drivers side block, the corner nearest to
the front.  A little corrosion.

Reassembly questions

1.  There is a head stud that is a little loose.  Running a die on it seemed
to loosen it up.  Just tighten it by finger and torque the head nuts?

2.  Permatex in the o ring channels of the water pump?

3.  Do I use loctite  on all of the bolts/nuts (except heads)

I thought there were more... probably later!  Thanks for all of the advice
and help.  My wife is beginning to think that the Van will never see the
open road again!
