A minuscule amount of anti-seize will keep them from rusting to the crankshaft for easier removal in the future. Tighten to the proper torque spec.

Red needs to be heated to release it on disassembly, blue just needs a good 6 point socket to break the bond.

They should be installed with some kind of sealant after cleaning the bolts and the holes if not you could get an oil leak, the oil could wick up the bolt threads. Like Jerry said blue loctite will work it will also seal the threads from leaking oil.
