Dont want to be a downer but you might have a cracked crank shaft. I couldn't keep mine tight on the new engine. Ended up having a cracked crank. I didn't want to believe what some were telling me but i took the crank out and had it tested. Didn't want to loose my entire 636ci engine due to someone lying about the crank being checked. Better safe than sorry. I acted safe and probably saved my engine from turning into a BOMB!
Doug I never read that was what ended up being your problem. Sorry to hear that. I hope with all the issues you have had this season getting that monster running your are laying a smack down on those chevies.

What balancer is on engine?
440 source SFI balancer. No unusual vibrations.
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?
