Hi Mitch, glad to help you! You will able to use this product to seal water pump bolts as it recommended to use on valve covers, oil pans, timing covers, water pumps, and thermostat housings. DIRECTIONS: 1. For best results, clean and dry all surfaces with a residue-free solvent such as Permatex Brake & Parts Cleaner. 2. Cut nozzle to desired bead size. Gaskets are best formed using a 1/16" to 1/4" bead. 3. Apply a continuous, even bead of silicone to one surface, surrounding all bolt holes. Assemble parts immediately, while silicone is still wet. Finger tighten until the material begins to squeeze out around flange. Allow to dry for one hour then retighten 1/4 to 1/2 turn. 4. Silicone will skin over in one hour and fully cure in 24 hours under normal conditions. Allow more time for cold or very dry conditions. 5. Clean uncured silicone from hands, tools and clothing with Permatex Fast Orange Wipes or Fast Orange Hand Cleaner. NOTE: Not recommended for use on head gaskets or parts in contact with gasoline.

Hi Larry, I'm glad to help you! No, the product will provide no structural support in its fully cured state. Even if it’s a cover or something that has nothing to do with structural support. The product should never be used for any suspension component under any circumstance. Currently, the product for such application is unavailable online.
