Water pump bolts

A lot of people on this board don't recommend putting high temp RTV on your water pump bolts. Can I use liquid teflon instead? Liquid teflon is going on my head bolts, so I don't see why it won't work on my waterpump bolts?

Thanks:

Re: Water pump bolts

Thread sealant just like you use on the head bolts is fine.

Cool Thanks:

I'm going to use the liquid teflon, thats what the machine shop told me to use on the head bolts.

I think why people are so obsessed with RTV is it smells so good.
