Hello, all... new to the forum. I'm refurbishing the engine compartment of my 65 Mustang GT with factory A/C. Removed the A/C compressor idler pulley bracket to clean it up and to clean behind it. Both long bolts seem to go through the water pump water passages, as they both had rust and gunk on them.

My question... when I reinstall these should I put RTV on the threads to seal against a water leak??

Thanks for your help.
