First, the cyanoacrylate glues probably aren't affected by the oil and heat,
but second, the glue is really just to hold the shim stock in place until the
washers are installed in the engine, at which point there isn't much place
for them to go as they are behind the washer, in the machined groove. And as
they are not touched by anything moving, the inclination to wander astray is
presumably minimal.
Anyway, it worked for me a few years ago on a race engine that was otherwise
all in spec.
