I think just regular silicone would work fine, The coolant temp wont get over about 220 f and I don't considor that high heat.
If you happen to have the hi temp silicone use it.

I usually use the black Permatex.

It seems to hold up better in most cases.

I tend to use teflon tape or permatex Number 2 non hardeneing sealer.RTV will work though.
