Default Thread lock on Intake Manifold bolts

In doing a little tinkering on my '04 D2, I noticed that one of my IM bolts was about 3/4 of a turn loose. I have tightened them before, usually when I do oil changes. Is there any problem with putting a little thread lock on them to keep this from happening? I'm not talking about the nuclear red thread lock, but a more medium duty type. Love to hear thoughts from the Disco tribe.

When I did my head gaskets I used the blue medium strength loctite on my intake manifold bolts.
About 5 years later in had to go in and replace my injector O-rings.
I checked my intake manifold bolts and they were all still tight.

I torque mine to spec, and have never had them back out. I prefer not to crank them, as I don't want to damage the gasket.
