As for sealing the bottom of the liner with Loctite.
There will certainly not be any undue tensions. Normally a liner is a press fit into the block over the full length of the liner, and that works well. Here you are only sealing less than a third of the length, I would guess. No contest.
In any case my engines have both been locked, and none have shown any water loss after that.
