M8 more logical just often harder to find drill bits to match unless you get a kit. Actually based on M8 basically identical in size best to not introduce a weird Jon metric bolt.

Great tips above. The main point of using the smaller drill first through the water pump is to use that as a perfect guide of normal.

If old pump is aluminum perfect to practice.

When tapping critical and soft material, use a method like 1/2 turn clock wise 1/4 turn CCW and repeat. (1/4, 1/8 if the tap binds).
