Cam reassembly question(s)

Anyone who's removed the cams for service or replacement, the torque spec on the 10 braces are 89 in/lb (~7.4 ft/lb). This feels barely finger tight, like they'd back out on their own.

1) Am I supposed to put some kind of thread locker or equivalent in the 10 cam braces or leave it alone?

2) Also, am I supposed to put a liquid gasket between the mating surfaces of the mechanical fuel pump & intake cam cap? There was a brown material i scraped off when dissassembling but it didn't seem thick and looked to just be old oil film. My book doesn't mention this part on the reassembly portion.

Thank you for any insight!
