No need for it IMO. I've never had any come loose before.

ya i was thinking that too, but now that i have a cam and poly mounts i think i might use a dab anyway

what im really wondering tho is if i should use loctite with the internal engine bolts like the spider and camshaft retainers etc stuff like that you know ?

No Loctite. Just torque everything to the factory spec. and you will be fine.

I use blue loctite on the cam sprocket bolts and cam thrust plate bolts and tighten to factory specs. That's it.
