If if is prone to severe vibration, drill and wire it.  Thats why bolts/nuts on aircraft have been wire tied for over a hundred years.  The test as presented shows severe vibration.  Our SOHC's don't vibrate that much.  Now if you own a pre-evo HD you need all the loctite and tie wire you can get ;D
