Vevapower Waiting for the 1st N/A 12! Donating Members 2,533 Member For: 16y 2m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/12/10 03:10 AM Share Posted 26/12/10 03:10 AM Hey guys I had my flex plate comming loose a few weeks ago and brought the car back and had it fixed... now I was driving today and yet again the car is making the same sound as before , I will get it towed to the shop again because if I keep driving it the bolt holes can elongate and then the crank will have to come out of my newly blue printed motor.Is it possible that new bolts need to be used when the plate is fitted? or are there special bolts that can be used? I have been assured that locktite has been used but the bolts are still comming outin saying this its also possible they have stripped the boltshas anyone else had or seen the same problem?What sorf of sound was it PW?
