When replacing bolts in like thermostats, or anything you take apart on in engine, what is the best sealant to use so the bolts won't corrode?

Re: Thread sealant

If you mean keeping the threads from corroding, I'm a firm believer in antiseize. If referring to the shank, silicone.

If it's an outboard use stainless steel bolts
