[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 382811, member: 2580"] I don't use loctite on the base screws. Clean and tight has worked for me. However, I have had an infrequent case of action screws working loose. I used to race go-carts and we used red spray paint on bolts and screws that tended to vibrate loose. Worked then and has worked on the action screws. Spray it on the threaded part of the screw, give it a minute, screw it in and leave it overnite. On little screws, spray a little paint into the cap, dip a toothpick in it and touch the threads. Some will flow over onto them. Seems to stop screws from vibrating loose and still can be unscrewed without any trauma. I don't always have the right loctite, but I always have some red spray paint.
