Correction - I stand in error. The manual does call out a thread locker for these bolts in 1) the general information under torque values for engine - cam sprocket "apply a locking agent to the threads" and 2) in chpt 6 (cyl head valves) general information under torque values "apply a locking agent to the threads".
The interesting part is both referenced above call for 13-16 ft*lbs WHILE the detailed installation instructions n chapter 6 call for 16-19 ft*lbs so the specs are in conflict with each other. I guess locktite 243 may be the optimum choice.
