Use Blue Locktight when doing Timing Belt?

I plan on doing my timing belt change following Cajun Power How-To manuals. I was wondering if it's necessary to use Blue Locktight on some of the bolts that holds the pulley and tensioners. Thanks for the help

I never have and I have done four timing belt jobs. Nothing ever came loose. On the other hand I guess it can't hurt. I do pay attention to torque values.

I did not use any locktite on the bolts for the timing belt job.

Just accurate torque specs!

A third "no".
Even in engines that have a lot more vibration (dirtbikes, quads) I have never used locktite on timing components. Once again, proper torque specs.

Thanks for the clarifications. I know the How-To don't mention it but I just want to be sure. It's better to be safe than sorry.

I would use it just to be safe. A $5 tube of lock tite for extra security is well worth it in my book.
