Thanks guys, I'll put red lock tight and some bowinkle on the bolts! BTW. how does a cracked crank cause the flex plate bolts to come loose? Added vibration? you will not feel the vibration that will loosen the blots. I had this same deal on SM block mopar street car even went as far as to weld the bolts it just broke welds. I put good balancer on it never had bolts back out again.(BHJ at the time) If you have any other balancer to try I would start with that.

I slide the tranny back about three inches. remember we are talking about the flex plate bolts holding the flex plate to the crank. I don't think you can get to them without sliding the tranny back some.
