I don't see why you couldn't use thread locker.I personally would.As for improper torque?!Well,I would say just time did it.Those bolts are under a lot of stress.Plus you can't really torque them down much(Trust me,DO NOT GO OVER SPECS!They will break at 5Lbs over!I did it!) since they are small diameter.

yea I guess we were all a little busy Mel I know he said something about haveing everybody listen to his truck I heard it a lot but neevr got to really look it over ya know
UPDATE!
Thanks to the Brotherhood, Joe and Eric now have the needed parts, and have put the truck back together to this point. Now from what they describe, they either have a collapsed lifter, or a damaged lifter. I told them to pull all the glow plugs and use the starter to see if they can pump the lifter up some. If it won't come up, then they are off on their next adventure, of pulling the intake and turkey pan to get at the lifters.

More of an update...
Sorry for not updating earlier, in addition to Joe's truck problems, we are also having laptop problems here at the household...
Anyway here is where we are, we buttoned everything back up except for the valve cover and like Mel said we tried to build the pressure back up in that lifter (exhaust for no. 5) but to no avail. So now we are going to print out Mel's article on head gaskets and take the top of the motor off and try to get to the lifter that way. Carolina International is working hard for us and said they will have all the parts we need by 4:30 this afternoon! 
Hats off to them; great bunch over there!
A huge thanks to Freight and Mel for the parts!!
Oh yah by spending the extra 2 bucks Freight you beat Mel's package by 1 hour!! We had everything by 11:00 am. Many thanks again! Wish us luck...time to get dirty again!

Joe just called and they have a good portion of the top end apart, but he was asking what the stealership charges for labor on the Lifter.
Can you believe 10.2 hours for the RH side? Total job with Parts is about $1300 with about $715 going to labor.
Joe, I guess you should split at least half that amount with Eric.
Now go get ur dun, boys

Joe,
If you need the 5th wheel towed home, I can bring one of the trucks down and haul it back. Scott has already offered the hauling on your truck if you need to get back to PA.

If need be I can grab it on this trip home. ........Although it sounds like you gots it under control. If all else fails, I'll be here on the back burner.
