Okay, so right now the front of my motor is torn down ready to put on the timing belt. But my question is, should I be using some loctite on anything? Waterpump? Tensioners? Crank nut? And if so, what loctite should I use? The lowest I found at the local auto parts store was medium strength, nothing less than that.

Any help would be great,

Usually manuals will tell you where to put Loctite.
I wouldn't put loctite on anything that isn't recommended by a manual.
Remember that the front case is aluminum, you don't want to use loctite there.
The only place I'd use loctite would be on the tensioner arm pivot bolt.
And when doing a BSE on the oil pump cover and the stub shaft.
