I over tighten it. Does it really matter that much?

That's what typically happens when the wrong hardware is used.

There isn't a washer on the bolt. If you attempt to torque it, you will never get the proper reading.
And I'd reconsider using a bolt that's obviously too short. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

You have to use a washer, but have still done the same thing when I wasn't using a torque wrench to achieve the proper torque. You need a new pump, 17 dollars at autozone.
