Mopar used left hand threads to prevent bolts from coming loose so no need for locktite on 8 3/4 bolts. The Hi Po replacement Mopar bolts from Direct Connection and Moparts use to come with a coating on them, the original OEM factory ones didn't It won't hurt to use a thread locker if you want, I wouldn't use the Red or Green Locktite though As far as torque the FSM calls for 55 ft lbs is what I remember and use I had to buy a 1/2 inch drive Snap On torque wrench that would measure torque on left hand threaded bolts, My Proto and Craftsmen clicker wrenches wouldn't
BTW which brand bolts are you using and what do they recommend for the torque? Use and follow thier recommndations
