Timiing Cover refitting and Waterpump Q's

I have installed new balance chain and tensioner on my 91 2.3L T and now I am ready to close the timing cover back up. My question is what do I need to do to seal it up. I am planning to use red silicone around the timing cover flanges. What do I use between on the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the sump? It looks like there was blue silicone there before. Is it ok to use the red silicone here also? And it looks to me like I should use no silicone on the top of the timing cover where it meets the headgasket. Is this correct.
I am also ready to install a new waterpump. I bought the Hepu pump which comes with the gasket to attach to the back of the pump housing. Should I use silicone around this gasket also? I have had problems with thermostat leaks when I have not used silicone.
And, does anyone know the torque value for tightening the balance chain tensioner and guides?
Thanks,
Robert Kaplan
