No need to peen, but I've been raked over the coals for using Loctite...

Make your choice ....................??
It will not wick, NOR stick with the threads having been assembled oiled. (Either intentionally, or residual packing preservative) Unless the fasteners were washed with solvent, don't bother.Unless the threads on the bolts and nuts are chemically clean will the Loctite actually work?
What is the temp range for green wicking Loctite?
IMHO you're done.I followed procedure in the manual using existing bolts and new nuts, with 25 lbs./ft. of torque. Now I read comments of using loctite and peening the nuts, which I didn’t do. I really don’t want to disassemble and start over…comments, advice?
I use a fine stone to take the sharp edge off the bolt heads to avoid shaving a sliver of aluminum off the conrod. A bit of overkill probably but it gives me peace of mind.Look closely in the con rod holes that there is no aluminum swarf trapped under the bolt head.
