Ignition Coil Screws - Loctite?

[curand]

Removed the coils to replace them, and noticed that the old screws seem to have thread lock on them (that blue dry type). The new longer screws, that came with the Beru ZS178 coils, don't have any thread lock. Should I use medium Loctite? Doesn't say so in the Work Shop Manual I have.

I would not use thread locker on these bolts as they are rather small and in a difficult position should they snap off.  Instead, I would use a good quality anti seize compound and torque them to spec.  We have not had any issue with them coming loose using this method, and they always came back out when needed down the road.
