The Red Loctite will not seize the bolts. Blue, on the other hand, will not last and the bolts will eventually work loose. Green, (270) will seize the bolts.

I never use any of that loctite stuff.
Seems it will need to come apart again.
Snapping bolts off is not my idea of a walk in the park.

You might want to try reading the packaging before you start leading people down the wrong road, Quote from Locktites website




Loctite® Threadlocker Red 271™ is designed for the permanent locking and sealing of threaded fasteners. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. It protects threads from rust and corrosion and prevents loosening from shock and vibration. It is only removable once cured by heating up parts to 500°F (260°C).
Loctite® Threadlocker Blue 242® is designed for the locking and sealing of threaded fasteners which require normal disassembly with standard hand tools. The product cures when confined in the absence of air between close fitting metal surfaces. It protects threads from rust and corrosion and prevents loosening from shock and vibration. Loctite® Threadlocker Blue 242® is particularly suited for applications on less active substrates such as stainless steel and plated surfaces, where disassembly is required for servicing.

Oh yah; I forgot good luck getting that intake off, did you think to use it on your head bolts while you were there.
