follow the TSRM...

the bolts and studs have different torque settings, overtorque and you break bolts, undertorque and it leaks...

make sure you clean the gasket surface well, and I flushed a ton of crap out of my block while I was there...

Check the fan clutch while you have it off. They tend to go bad over time. If the belts are old its a good time to replace them too.
