Do it right. Do it once.

Nothing more to say...
The question is if it is designed to use loctite or not, and I think it is not. I did not notice any loctite residue on bolt threads if originally applied from the factory.

I guess IMSB was not designed to explode before the warranty either so it's at my own risk... but I do not lose sleep over it, after putting 5,000 miles since the retorque 8 months ago.
