When installing the EGT probe, should I use any kind of pipe dope/ thread sealant on the threads?

I just use Permetex Hi-temp antiseize... partly as a sealant, but mostly in case I ever have to get the thing back out.

Planning to drill and tap my hole in the small dimple area directly opposite of the trapezoidal flange on my exhaust manifold, about as dead center from all 4 paths as possible.
