I would avoid thread lock, what happens when/if you need to take them off? I always use anti-seize for that stuff. I haven't done Macs before, but if they are like Bassani (also a midlength design) then they go in from the bottom easier, IMO.
Also, tighten the header bolts from the inside (middle bolt) out, semi-tight on the first pass (11 lb/ft or so) and tight on the second pass (18 lb/ft or so).
