Alright guys, I've read that its important to install the head first then the water pump.
Is this true? I can see how the head might not seat correctly with the water pump O-ring pushing up against the head prior to install, however does this make much of a difference when the head is torqued down against that O-ring?
If the head does need to be installed first, how do you know how hard the water pump needs to be pushed up against the head for proper O-ring seal to take place?
