I would add to the other comments that Hylomar should NEVER be used as a sealant.  It is great stuff but as a seal (O-ring type) preservative.  Also aids assembly by holding them in place as Ed said. 
 
 Be careful using RTV as a selant in oil systems, especially down stream of oil filter.  Chuck Dunlop (and others) can explain why.

Couldn't get oil flow in the engine the other day when trying to fill oil
line to oil cooler and see if oil flowed to the filter. Had used gasket and
Halomar when assembling pick-up tube to engine, still no flow. Can't see why
it will not prime. Pulled oil line off and pumped oil into hole to prime the
pump since it had set for a long time since engine assembly; it spit out the
oil put in there showing that the pump would work but still didn't suck,
rather it does 'suck'.  Should I have used Ultragray instead of the Halomar?
 Any suggestions?
Will put a 3/8" extender on pick-up tube after oil flow is confirmed with
stock set-up (using sandwich mount 1/2" thick like CC mount).
