I think so. I had a real bad rattle, specially when hot, generally between 2400-2900 rpm, mostly at light loads. All I have now is a little ticking that is barely noticable, to let me know it's still running. The lack of noise is amazing.

Hey guys, I'm in there! One question, I was reading through the manual today and I did not see that it called for loctite on the the rocker base bolts, do you guys Loctite? The new breather bolts seem to already have some on them.

Like you, I've never seen mention of it in the manual. I personally don't use it on the rocker support bolts, but do on the rocker cover bolts. I have heard reputable engine builders say yes, and no lol.
New bolts come with some dry coating on them, not positive if it's thread locker or thread lubricant. If you REALLY want to cover all bases, new bolts are about $1 each at the dealer.
