Securing Right-hand Cup on Italian-threaded Bottom Bracket?

I'm about to replace the cup-and-cone bottom bracket on a 1982 Bianchi with a cartridge one and I'm looking for advice on re-installation of the right-hand cup. I know that in the "good old days" these tended to loosen due to the effect of precession on the threaded joint, so I'm wondering if, in the intervening 33 years an effective technique has evolved to prevent, or at least minimize, this phenomenon. Any advice would be much appreciated.
