Not the oil pump to block assembly itself, but the joint between the oil pump and the bedplate (where the oil pan goes). The FSM states Loctite 18716, but as far as I can tell it doesn't even exist.

Ok... after talking to Mopar and Loctite all day, it turns out that Loctite 81716 doesn't even exist! Loctite 5699 (RTV Ultra Gray) is the correct sealant to use. I used Mopar ATF-RTV, the same as between the oil pan gasket and bedplate. I'm sure the anaerobic shit works just as well. Thanks for the quick reply Dino!
