Everyone has their favorite. I use a light coat of ultra grey silicone on the gasket. If using a motorplate, I don't use gaskets at all. Just a light coat of ultra grey silicone.

Been using ultra grey for years between the pump, motor plate and block.
The ultra black would be just as good.

1 suggestion... Get some longer threaded studs or cut off the nut head from screws.. Then screw these into the block when installing the water pump housing and seal they act as guides.. Makes the job much easier without having the gasket slip down. Then 1 by 1 unscrew the studs and install the proper bolts and torque things down.. Just my $0.02...

I totally agree, I do this on other areas including the heads

Oil or Anti seize up: All the BB Mopar bolt holes for the timing cover and water pump housing mounting bolt holes in the block are blind, they do not go into the water jackets: scope:

I'm using Fel Pro gaskets. I also meant to ask, should I put anything on the bolt threads? I use ARP 12 point stainless for all builds and put a thin coat of ARP bolt lube on the threads. ARP stainless are the only bolts I use unless the application requires something specific such as rod bolts.
