Can't watch the vid just now, but if you were into the water pump and housing did you reinstall the two shims that go under the two studs on the exhaust/intake side of the engine?

On my webpage here:
Engine Mounting

There is a pic shown here has two spots on the back of the water pump housing circled that need shims to make up for the thickness of the gasket:

if you dont have the shims chuck out the gasket and use RTV.. doesnt need the shims then
