The engine mounts use self locking nuts so they don't cause a problem.

All of the regular nuts can loosen up so it's a good idea to buy a bottle of blue Loctite to put on their screw threads.

We have learned, "Blue Loctite" is our friend. :)

I had engine side cover bolts backing out after a couple hundred miles(only 2 that were out approx. 4mm). so, yes."everything" doesn't hurt.

If your Enfield came with Phillips cross head side cover screws on the engine, STAINLESS STEEL ALLEN HEAD SCREWS are an excellent upgrade well worth doing (no fun removing a stripped crosshead)
