Raw water pump torque specks?

[Captain 76]

Hello I have a 5.0 gxi-e engine I was wondering what are the torque specks for the raw water pump. Also I noticed there was some type of "sealant" at the top of the threads. Does anyone have any ideas. Thaks

The 4 small bolts holding the housing to the pump base (#7) are 19 - 24 Inch lbs.
The oring seals things, no sealant needed. I have been known to put some gasket sealer on the threads of the bolts to keep corrosion from seizing them, but that's the only reason for any type sealer.

Sorry, Don I should have been more specific. I was referring to the 3 "Allen" bolts that mount the pump to the harmonic balancer.
