Default No... not needed IMO
No I didn't. Had mine (TB) done my a friend who is a foreman at the local stealership, he didn't use any, so... I guess it's not that necessary.

Default Phew... I was talking to a friend about my timing belt job and he almost had me convinced that
I needed to tear apart my car again and apply loctite to the tensioner bolts.

I know that the bentley manual doesn't mention loctite for the TB tensioner bolts.

Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks, guys...
