rocker arms & loctite... When installing the rocker arms I used loctite blue, instead of loctite red... Does it matter? I've put ~300mi on it but I worry... Thanks, Steve.

I don't think so, some folks just use thread sealant on em', the blue is supposed to be for applications that are meant to be removed and the red is "supposed" to be more of a permanent product.
