Be careful when removing the bolts so they dont break in the block/timing cover, and also be careful when pryingthe old pumpoff the timing cover so that you don't break the water jacket seal between the block and timing cover, cause that can cause some nasty leaks thet will require a new timing cover gasket.

If the bolts are good, you are in great shape. If not they can be pricey to get from the dealer.
