Found out two had backed out and a third was half way out and was hitting the back of the block, only because they were not properly torqued. But the flex plate you need... twocents


Me thinks if the bolts backed out it had nothing to do with the holes being drilled oversize...always use red Loctite. I've used a step drill to enlarge the holes and properly deburr them on "windowless" flexplates used on standard performance installations, never had a problem.
