Coolant Temperataure Sensors

I am about to re-install the several temperature sensors to the head. Do I use anti-lock on the threads? I did not see any teflon tape or sealant on them either, but the car is 35 years old, so... (1989 300SE). Please let me know so I so it correctly.

Probably should go in dry. Tape etc. could cause electrical resistance which effectively changes the value of the sensor. If the sensors used aluminum sealing rings/washers, the rings/washers should be replaced.

Still wouldn't, have never had a problem and there is a small chance Loctite could also create a resistance to ground. I'd install them dry and only use something else in the unlikely event there was a problem.
