I bought the manual for reference on replacing the water pump on my 07 v6. It states that there are 3 different size bolts and torque specs to fit the pump. However, I only can tell of 2 different sizes, 8 12mm and 7 10mm. According to the manual it suppose to have 9 12mm, 6 10mm and 2 others that are different. If the manual is wrong on this, then I figure it must be unreliable and I question the torque specs. Or am I overlooking something? I have The bolts snugged on and no bolts are missing.

I should have the Rav back on the road tomorrow. I'm excited with all new brakes, rotors, spark plugs, oil change and especially no marbles in a can sound. It should be quite a ride.
