Use clear silicone sealant. Tip given to me by a professional engine builder (Wildcat)

Be very careful when lubing mission critical bolts especially if they go into a blind hole you can get hydraulic lock.

Engine oil should be fine with the correct torque.
Really don't like the idea of bits of silicone floating round in my oil although I did use it to help the sump gasket seal...
Are you a Mac user or a retard?

Will try and get the oil setting then. The bolts are 3/8" X 1 1/2"ARP 2000 if anyone knows it off the top of their head.

The assembly lube is just a good quality moly grease. So if you have some then just use that

Threadlock
This may be a silly question, but Why not Threadlocker?
You could use the least strong (weakest) if you are concerned with the removal.
Thanks in advance....
