The manual does say to glue them I think, but only so you have them in place long enough to assemble without worry of dropping them in the engine. Any glue will work for this. I wouldn't ever recommend RTV, but any other such as Yamabond #4 or equiv would work. Not necessary if you're careful.

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
