Loc Tite engine mounts

[AdamRides87]

Does anyone know if you lock tite engine mounting nuts/bolts, or is the torque applied good enough? I was looking through my manual, it has the correct foot pounds for torque but has no mention of any Loc tite. Should I go ahead and lock tight them or is this a no no?

The manual will usually tell you when loctite is required.

I often use loctite anyway on fasteners like this. It's like insurance as I've had plenty of fasteners come loose. If you go with picture use the medium strength blue stuff.

I use my impact and hit the rattle torque spec, never had a motor mount bolt back off, however I don't see anything wrong with using locktite......just don't use the green stuff.
