Hylomar is ideal actually, it is a tacky substance mainly used for metal to metal joints , developed by Rolls-Royce . It will stick the water pump gasket to the pump or block and hold it in place .
Silicon and grease can make the gasket slide out ! seen it happen before . also a paper gasket soaked with grease is going to compress more in the following months and might need the bolts nipping up again .
