I do find that if I don't use locktite I sometimes lose some of the
assorted bolts and machine screws that hold the underbelly pan and
muffler on.  I think that has more to do with it being a diesel than an
I-4, though.  The vibration at speed isn't so bad, but at idle it shakes
everything back there pretty fiercely.
