no, just don't need a dialog about how wrong it is to run a bolt without loctite. You started that dialog after I disclosed the reason why I didn't use loctite. We can end that dialog just as soon as you drop it, Mr. Know it all.
I had to play around with the hose routing for another half hour today... in spite of all my efforts I still couldn't keep the lines away from the headers...I think I have it all ironed out now though. I'll post the final pics later, after I've cooled off a bit...and I'm sure I'll be in a better mood then.

A friend of mine who is a GM dealer shop foreman told me the same thing. They want you to replace the bolts because liability-wise, they have to assume most people won't put a locking compund on the bolts when re-using. I put on "blue" Loc-tite and have never had a problem.
