Loctite for MREV2 install

I'm going to install the MREV2 and need Loctite.
Anyone know which Loctite thread locker I should use for the bolts?
I went to the Loctite website and there's about 28 types of the thread locker.

when you go to your local hardware store or home depot type store there will only be like 2-3 different types you need the blue type its removeable the red is permanant so stay away from that. Actually those are the only two ive seen in stores.

Go with the blue. Most mfg's use it on the assembly line.

loctite

pretty sure you want the 242 if its the blue. Medium strength and I'm pretty sure the higher the number the stronger it holds. I use this stuff at work for mechanical assembly and I have to warn you, you really only need a few drops. I put one single drop on number 4 through number 8 screws. You're using a larger screw but I wouldn't over do it.
