Yes;
Bill, you and Brian convinced me to wire them, although my drill work on the bolt heads is a bit cosmetically challenged; it seems I can get the hole in the center of the flat on one side only. :(
I now understand that safety wire is also a form of witness mark, (in that you would only wire up a tight nut/bolt) as well as a satey retainer.
Now that I have done a few, it's easy. I'll have to look over the rest of the engine...

Did I forget to final tighten those bolts? Perhaps they go in with locktight next time?
I'm dealing with little water and oil leaks, drips and damp spots. This is a great time to play with my 'creation'.
Chief,
Safety Wire Them period. You can use .025in. wire and it works easy.
