yup :tup: just to be safe, torque them to about 32ft lbs for the cylinder just to be safe

just some protection from bolts backing out

you dont want to loctite any aluminum thread's. the loctite will stayin the threads and the next time you remove and then reinstall the bolts they will be very hard and will not get the exact torque required. some have used taps or thread chasers but it will still remove the aluminum threads and over time the threads will pull out.
