Victor X, thread tape on Coolant fitting?

What do you guys use for the Coolant fitting (Brass 17mm) that connects to the intake manifold?

Thread tape, paste, loctite?

Thanks,
Chris

Its NPT which seals on the thread so technically you are supposed to use something on the threads. I prefer the Teflon paste but that's strictly a preference. Dont over tighen it.
