Head bolts, flywheel bolts, torque converter bolts all get the torque wrench. Everything else is torqued to german torqu specs guddentight
Blue loctite may be removable by hand if you put a dab on. If your like me, the bolt was wet on every thread, and requires heat.

yeah i guess it just depends on how much of the threadlocker you use. i noticed on the permatex packaging they only use the threadlocker on the bottom portion of the fastener which does make sense.
