just removed the starter and i'm about to lock the flywheel.

what about other bolts and loctite? i've read too much can mess up the torque measurement,
but then one guy had problems with having the crank bolt loosen up after engine start - he did it 3 times, and was positive of getting the 40nm + 90° right...:/

Yes, waterpump runs off the auxiliary belt, but you have to remove it to be able to remove the timing belt upper cover.
