Have to be careful using loctite on Flywheel bolts. Get all the bolts snugged home dry, remove one at a time, loctite and then put it back in the hole and torque it up. Try to do them all at once and there's a chance the Loctite can get between the mating faces, stops the flywheel from sitting correctly on the faces. Then doesn't take long for the loctite to get beaten into submission and all of a sudden your flywheel bolts are loose again.

 

Probably fine for your situation, seeing as the engine hasn't run long, but if it had been beating around for a while, you can wear the face where the bolt heads sit. If it's not perfectly flat there, the bolts won't stay tight, regardless of proper torque and loctite, would need to take it to a machine shop and get the faces true'd up again.

 

Also worth noting that the drive pulley bolt on the nose of the crank needs to be f-tight as well. Driving a lot of accessories thru that pulley, though mostly the supercharger. If they get loose there it can make a knocking noise as well and can ruin the nose of the crankshaft to the point it's a throw-a-way job.
