I use not sealer on pup gasket. Someone may have used a little thread sealer on bolts to insure no oil leak around them as they thread into timing chain area where oil is thrown around.

I'm halfway through a fuel pump replacement and thought
I would check in with a couple questions. Planning to finish
up Sunday.
1) Do I need anything in addition to the paper gasket for
bolting the pump to the block? I was thinking a high temp
RTV that is resistant to oil but the factory original didn't
have anything.
2) It had a fitting that threads into the fuel pump outlet
with some white thread sealer on the threads that was still
flexible. What was that stuff?
Bonus points if I can purchase recommended items from
NAPA or Pep Boys.
Thanks!
