My engine is on the stand pretty much ready to go back in, and at some point I realized I forgot to put any Loctite on the timing gear bolt before sealing everything back up. I torqued it down properly and everything. What do you guys think? Is it a big enough chance for it to be worth ripping it apart again, or just be done with it and hope for the best?
 
I never use Loctite on cam bolt
 
Agreed. Torque should be sufficient.

Always replace a camshaft retainer, if present. Cam walks out, engine dies. Lol
