Hey folks Just assembled carbs, put blue locktite on the throttle plate screws but want to peen the screws as well. Heard of two different methods. Think I like the idea of picking them towards one another with a pair of needle nose vice grips. Any thoughts?

I used just the blue locktite as you mentioned and haven't had an issue. I also marked them just because you never know.

If my memory is functioning correctly, I used the loctite, then I somewhat “squashed” the protruding end of each screw by pinching with small Vice-grips.
