loctite

[pitchlock]

Quick question. I just finished doing a timing chain change on my car. I was thinking before I put the front cover on that I didn't use loctite on any of the bolts for the tensioner or guide. Should I before I put it all back together?

It's a good idea, you can get away without it though.

I Antisiezed everything just because pretty much all of the bolts holding my valve cover down were stripped out.

im not sure if the fsm says to, but from what i remember your not. there is no free lunch, loctite will hold bolts in but can make them very difficult if not impossible to remove again without heating them up
