You are correct Laurens. The S&S manual says not to apply any Loctite to the bolt, only oil on the threads, then torque it to 35ft-lbs. The problem is this procedure will not fully prevent the bolt making an unplanned exit through the front cover, hence the modification. Loctite may prevent the bolt coming lose but may also prevent it from being removed easily when you want it to as well, Torx drives are not the best.
