Some aviation permatex or a dab of #2.
Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.

It will keep the rust away from the threads. A tube of #2 would be nice too, its thicker and is good for areas like where the oil pan side gaskets meet the end gaskets. I have never had anything with #2 on it leak, oil or water.
Make sure that you don't get any on the crankshaft to seal wear area, well a pin point size shouldn't hurt a thing, but try to avoid it.
