Are you reusing the old bolts or new bolts? If old bolts (at this point
get new ones) are you letting the locktite harden up a bit 1st? Let it
set to a tackiness 1st.

Also, be sure you spray some carb cleaner in the threads 1st (drain the
oil from the block) to get the holes real nice and dry and clean.

Am I missing anything folks?

good luck,
