Jimmie, et al:
I used an anaerobic pipe sealant called "superdope" (www.pipingtools.com),
there are others like permabond (www.permabond.com).
Anaerobic seal anything and very tightly, and resist high temperatures and
allow disassembly. This is just what I use in the piping trades every day
and swear by it. It fills slight gaps and even seals cross-threads. Worked
for me. Should be clean of course.
Just my opinion and advice.

Teflon won't tolerate that much heat. It will emit a poisionous gas as
well when exposed to that much heat.
In the petrochemical industry, I use anti-seize almost daily , and while
it does prevent the nuts from ever seizing on a bolt, it does'nt seal
threads.
At least nothing I've used has.
There are a number of types that contain copper, or nickel.
The nickel being the best, and most compatible with every metal.
If it worked for you that's great, but it won't seal my threads.
It's not designed to. Even with clean threads.
I don't favor red RTV to do that, as well, but it will .Permatex will also.
It is the last resort for me, and will do the job.
