Making a bit of progress, but it's a 2 steps forwards, one step back affair...
I buttoned the short block up the other night and ran in to two problems. Jakes modified Type I pump and cover were a bit big for the stock studs, what I've done thus far is used no lock washer and torqued the nuts down with blue loctite. I also managed to buy Type I instead of Type IV case sealing nuts, so I had to assemble it with the old nuts. I put Curil T on both sides of the case washers just in case I couldn't (for whatever reason) re-torque the case wit the correct nuts.
Opinions on what to do about both of these? I was thinking of leaving the oil pump alone and getting the correct nuts for the case and replacing them one at a time.

yes.. beefy thick pumps require longer studs....
Any chance I can back them out one at a time to replace them?
why not pull the pump... or at least the cover?
You mean without removing the pump? If you didn't have enough room to put on
the washers it might be hard to remove the stud. IMHO save yourself some
anguish and pull the pump.
