    I just grabbed a service manual at random and it says to apply OMC Gasket Sealer to the screws, so you are doing right by the book. Truth is, I don’t think the screws need any sealer. Sock them in tight with your hand impact screwdriver and they won’t leak. The threads are within the oil chamber, so water corrosion is not an issue. But go ahead and do as you are and feel good.
