Yeah, I have. I haven't noticed a differance on how long they hold. It sort
of makes sense to do it that way but I'm also afraid of overtightening 'em.

Has anyone tried the 'tighten down whilst the engine is hot' method of
securing the header nuts?
I've used the silicone on the threads on the right side nut since it
seemed to be the only one that would come loose. Worked very well but
was a bit messy when taking it apart; the silicone stuck to everything.
