I use liquid teflon stuff. Depends on the type of sealant too...some cure hard, which I don't think is a good thing for heat cycled areas.

Permatex and 3m make good automotive products too, for what you want.

You should be good to go then, remeber to spary some brake clean into the holes where they thread, so no oil is in there, oil and sealants don't work well together.
