Getting ready to start my short block assembly (time for the numbers matching block to go back into the car).

First step, simple stuff here but cant remember:

what's the best material to seal the new freeze plugs.

what about the front galley plugs? any sealer on them? what's the best (shadetree mechanic) method to stake them in??

teflon sealer good for the rear galley screw in plugs?

TIA.

P.S. I'm thinking about Ultra Black unless ya'll tell me that's a bad idea.
 
Dave,
For years now I have been using Permatex Teflon thread sealer on the threads and Permatex Form a Gasket #1A on the freeze out plugs.
