Resolved 1G Oil Pump question

[Dat240zg]

Quick question. I was going back through the Rely-On-Ability engine assembly thread (https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/project-rely-on-ability-6-bolt-rebuild.276707/) and noticed that the OP mentioned using loctite on the oil pump housing bolts. When I took the oil pump apart to check the gears and fill the case with grease, I didn’t use loctite when I torqued the bolts back down. I didn’t see it mentioned in the shop manual. Is this a absolute must?

No, it's not a must. But to torque the bolts properly is a must.

Thanks - torqued them to specs, so I believe I should be good.
