What type of Locktight should I put on these bolts in the Heat Exchanger?

Could someone please suggest the correct Locktight to put on these bolts in my new heat exchanger?

I’d use Blue Loktite #242, unless WM Diesel/Kubota say otherwise.

Was thinking it should protect the bolt against water?

I usually use Loctite 51147 or Never Seez NMCBT an anti seize thread lube. Around water, heat and cast iron, getting the old nut/bolt loose is the big problem. Properly tightened nuts & bolts don't seem to vibrate loose on engines I work on.

Thanks Gord. I used the 242 blue and it was the right stuff.
