    Default Lube or anti-seize for water pump bolts?

    Like the title says, which one? I have already chased all of the holes to make sure they are clean and I want to make sure thay come out if I ever need to remove them.

    Yep. Thread sealant- and the Teflon in that is an effective anti-seize, so two birds with one stone, so to speak.

    I have always used anti-seize, but I am open to trying new things. Is there a brand in particular that anyone could suggest?

    That is exactly what I use, and it can be had at any parts store if you do not order on line. A can that size will last about a hundred years. I always used to use neverseize, but had my mind changed.

    I use anti seize on the shaft so it doesn't seize to the pump and thread sealer on the threads.

    I will pick some up next week. Would this also work on intake bolts?

    I've always used Permatex Ultrablue, Ultrablack or Ultracopper. Keeps the threads from ever rusting, acts as a thread sealant and an anti-seize.
