I installed my oil pan with new oil pump, new oil pick up. I did not use loctite and now I am second guessing not using it on the oil pump bolts and pick up bolts. The engine is still out of the car so should I pull the oil pan and use loctite on these bolts.

thanks
Orlie

If it will make you sleep better at night and since the engine is already out of the car I would do it just for the piece of mind, now if it was in the car already I would just just live on the edge and hope for the best.

I didn't on my bolts and it has held just fine. As long as you torqued it to spec, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks for the replys, I did torque them to spec so I guess I'll leave them.
