You also should not use Locktite unless specifically instructed to do so in the manual.

All torque specs assume a dry thread unless otherwise stated. 50% of the torque applied is to overcome the friction of the threads. If these are wet or 'lubed' in anyway, including 'uncured' Locktite, you'll over-torque them and risk snapping one off or stripping it.

If you use new bolts and torque properly, Locktite will hurt more than it helps!

Cheers!
