Mike,

<I am wondering if it is necessary to use Loctite on the sequence
valve adjustment screws? >

I found the only reasonable way to let me sleep at night after working on 
my sequence valves was a two step fix.

1.  I set the depth of the plunger very rigid by reverse screwing on a 
nylon nut.  This allowed very accurate depth setting.  Particularly 
important!  I had a friend whose valve was damaged to the point of failure 
because of overcrushing from the main strut compression.  Take it slow and 
accurate.  Just  enough depth to actuate the cylinder.

2.  Additionally, I loctited my screws into the sequence valve to make'm 
stay.

They've worked well for 145 hours.  Good Luck
