lock tight

i was reading in the FSM tha the E-shaft main bolt likes to back its way out of the E-shaft... so wo would lock tight be a good use here ? also would lock tight be advised on the oil pump nut and locking screw ? i was just wondering b4 i put it all back together.

Only place I know loctite is supposed to be used is on the front eccentric shaft bolt and rear ecc. shaft nut, and the weaker blue loctite, not the red.

I wouldn't use it on the oil pump nut, it has the washer that you bend to hold the nut from loosening, which has a tab that goes in the keyway which holds it from rotating.

Loctite on the eccentric shaft nut is optional, I have run with it and without it with no ill effects at any time.
