Rocker Arm Install

[DNK70]

I got the bolts out of the cylinder head and am getting ready to bolt the rockers back on. Does anyone use blue thread locker on these to keep them from backing out or should I just torque 'em down per the FSM?

I just torque to spec, but Blue locker won't hurt.. personal choice.
