Default Primary cover bolts

I have a service manual and it's not telling much detail in this category. The bolts I removed looked as if they may have had something on the threads but not real sure and I'd hate to have to do the job twice. Anybody know if it calls for some thread sealer on any of the cover bolts ? ( 2003 88ci )

It's like that franks hot sauce commercial. I put that sh$& on everything.

Just a lil blue dab lock tight but it makes me feel better having done it.
I do take note of tq specs and follow that to the high side.

I have owned 3 Harleys since 2005 and changed primary fluid 20+ times and never used any kind of "Loctite" I have never stripped a torx bolt, had a bolt come loose or had a leak.
