[6pack] Lock-Tite or Anti-Seize?

[robert fabie]

Bob:
I would recommended using anti-seize because I believe that one or two of
the bolts used to attach the water pump are exposed to water because they
are attached through a water jacket or thermostat housing. Using Lock-Tite
in lieu of lock washers is preferred by some people, but either one should
be just fine.
Hope this helps.
Bob
