I wouldn't use thread locker on the intake bolts, but do use some permatex thread sealant. this will help keep the oil from collecting in puddles on top of the intake. also, after installing a new intake, you should retorque the bolts after a couple warm up cool down cycles. bolts will usually loosen up after the engine has been hot/cold 2-3 times due to expansion/contraction of metals
