Thought of that but Worcester rabbit on about torque on these.
Maybe I'm a bit too sensitive

You could apply the same amount of torque with the washer.

The way to release loctite is by heating it!

If ordinary hex heads, make up a locking plate which fits between them?

Locking compounds may not stand the heat. Unless it never gets much above
the water temp.

Automotive or bike thread-lock should cope with the temperatures.

Another way is to drill small holes in the bolts and wire them together.
Good enough for the aviation industry.
