How is the water pump attached to the cylinder block and what considerations are there for installation on 1988 Volvo 245?

The water pump screws onto the cylinder block and needs the use of a gasket, even without a water outlet. A sealing ring squirts against the cylinder head during installation. Fitting the pump is easier when the head is removed because it provides for proper fitting of the ring while inserting bolts.
