No Sealant Necessary

The gasket for the water pump is probably paper or fiber of some sort. It will absorb water, swell and seal. A lot of people don't trust the process and use some sort of goop (my personal choice is Permatex). I have installed many water pumps on many different engines without sealant. Those that did seep coolant only did so for a day or two and then stopped.
Do not use loctite unless you are attaching flywheel bolts or calipers.
