What kind of thread sealer do you like to use.For water pump,timing cover bolts.The old bolt I took out of the pump and some of the timing cover bolts are rusted bad and cant be reused.

Silicon or anti seize for bolts that thread into aluminum.------------------

I don't use anything exotic on water pump bolts. If they are "in the gasket" or used to plug a hole like in the thermostat housing, I've put a little silicon on the threads.Then I worried about my torque values being right

Thats ok Rob, I forgot the 'H'.  Thread sealer is what I was after.Now what are the odd's of Alex or Steve changing that for me.  So does it matter what kind of sealer like clear or black?

Something that works good on bolting that threads into through holes is a Teflon Based Pipe Sealant Paste. You do need to use torque values for lubricated bolts when you use sealants, they are typically 30% less than no-lubricated values.------------------
