I was wondering if you could use Titen by loctite to keep the valve screws in place? I am having really bad luck getting my valve screws to stay in place and I saw this product on the shelf the other day. It says it keeps metal to metal bolts in place. I'm not sure if it will seal them up air tight though. Titen or blue threadlocker?

Clean the screws and the holes with alcohol. Let them dry. Use RED loctite on them. That's what Tippmann uses. Since the screws are so small and short the red loctite will not have enough surface area to bond so well that you can't get them out if need be.  Be sure to not over tighten those screws. They are threaded into the valve which is aluminum and it doesn't take much to strip them out.
I've never seen anyone own the woods because of what marker they use.
