PERSONALLY I use Loctite all the time. Use the blue stuff on anything that even might vibrate loose. Intakes-yes, headbolts-NO. I use it on rod bolts, sidecover bolts even carb mixture screws that tend to move. Use the red stuff on any stud or like me on exhaust bolts. If you need to take the bolts/studs out just heat a little with a propane torch and they come out no problem. I have used this stuff for years and years and would rather use it than not. Better safe than sorry-trust me.
