Timing Gear bolts

After reading the post just below mine, I realized that I don't remember putting loctite on my timing gear bolts. I did over tighten them by a few ft/lbs but Im almost certain I didnt loctite them.

Mods in sig.

Should I tear it all back down again?

Its been like that for 6 months.

What bolts and to what torque spec?

For what it's worth arp bolts would have required a higher torque spec than the gm bolts.

Factory spec is either 25 or 18 depending on where you look and GM specs are for a dry install, so you'll probably be fine.

Well I hope you are right. I remember torquing them and then went back with a normal wrench and gave them a tug just be sure. I know for a fact that I didnt loctite though
