lol, we told you to just tighten em all up, I used Mopar RTV, i'm sure the Loctite would suffice as well.

Loctite is not a sealant. The RTV is what should be used. Loctite may work but is not an optimal solution. The "blue" loctite is medium strength and has less holding strength than the "red" which is intended for permanent installation.

Another note, if the threads are not cleaned of the oil the blue loctite may not set properly. Also the blue requires a minimum of a 6 hour set prior to being exposed to any fluids. Loctite 242 is the standard "blue", but there are other variants. Another popular one is 243, which is designed to be more oil resistant than 242.

I used Hondabond on mine. It's an RTV silicone sold by Honda/Acura dealers and supposedly good to 600F.
