    Then back on schedule tuning.

    What do you think caused that, and what are your plans to prevent reoccurrance?
    Not using Loctite caused it ....using it will cure it. I ALWAYS Loctite mine.

    Loctite

    Ditto on the Loctite, I use it wherever there is a bolt going into a rotating/moving item - better safe than sorry!!!

    Note that items doused with RED Loctite MUST be heated thoroughly, like with a propane or MAP gas torch, to come loose.

    The RED is called "stud & bearing mount". Anybody ever use it on the back of a bearing shell? I suppose you would have to use it quite sparingly so as not to have any squish out & get on the journal or into the oiling groove.

    Yep didn't Locktite it.
    Have to also check the length to make sure it didn't bottom.
    I did tighten it to TSM torque spec.
