When it comes to using Locktite, there are different types. My opinion, if main cap bolts use mechanical type lock features, Locktite is not needed. Sometimes, with a bolt/fastener that rotates (say camshaft/crankshaft/balancer bolt and pulleys, they may loosen even with a lock washer installed. Locktite might by wise in such cases.
