Any will do. Put on exactly enough layers that it's a snug fit through the smallest holes as you put it through the engine. Might even combine it with RTV or such. The idea is to have some support for the bolt at some points through its length, rather then just the two end points.

Looking at Tracy's website he has a method shown using heat shrink on all tension bolts as a means to inhibit them from breaking.  Any "special" heat shrink or will the garden variety work?
