I use a tapered alignment punch in the lower (5th hole) as described to lever the pump up against the head while tightening the remaining 4 bolts. No sealer is required anywhere, and I have not had one leak yet. I did one once where the PO or a mechanic used blue sealant everywhere, and it was a real mess to clean off before installing a new pump. Don't use sealant. Apply a little antisieze to the bolts before reinstalling.
