[V8] RTV and Loctite

[dsaad AT icehouse DOT net]

I am pretty sure the manual calls for blue locktite on the crank  
bolt. I don't see any reason not to use it. If the factory specs it,  
they probably have a reason.
And I did not put any RTV on my water pump gasket - I have not had  
any leaks but again probably no reason not to use it.
