Yes, 30 N-m or 22 lb. ft.
loctite, No
with the engine in the #1 firing position tighten exhaust rocker arm bolts 1,2,7, & 8. Then tighten intake rocker arm bolts 1,3,4,&5.
rotate crank 360 degrees, tighten exhaust valve rocker arm bolts 3,4,5, & 6, then tighten intake rocker arm bolts 2,6,7, & 8

You dont need locktite, but it can't hurt.
If you have ported heads, a dab of silicon or locktite on the bolts is a
must
