Going to change the water pump bolts while I am there.
High strength stainless cap heads or like for like with plenty anti seize paste?
 
I always put normal grease on any bolts.
Stainless in aluminium can be an issue for corrosion, you can get special paste to prevent it, but again normal grease seems to work okay.

Make sure you put the bolts in the correct holes. I think there are different lengths

Many different bloody lengths, learnt that the hard way on a d1 200 many years ago.
Now I draw a pic of the timing cover on some cardboard, make holes where the bolts go through, and as I remove each bolt from the engine it gets put into the cardboard.
 
Knew I had a pic somewhere.
