Header Q's

I have searched, but none of it answered my question.

I have had my Hooker LT's on my car for awhile, and I am changing the gaskets due to a small leak on the Driver side. Is it ok to use blue locktite on the header bolts to stop them from backing? I am still using stock bolts.

Also has anybody used the Victor MLS header gaskets? I figured they would be as good as stock, or at least better than the Felpro's I used before.

I bought new gaskets from the chevy dealer down the road. They were only about $12 each, and I am not sure if you are going to ger much better than the stock ones.
