Bob, thanks.I will try the loctite then. There is enough thread going into the block so that won't be a problem.

Locktite or epoxy.
The main caps typically are removed with the engine out and the cap is positively located so using an epoxy or locktite to lock the studs in the block should not be an issue. As long as the proper thread depth is achieved, go for it. Another deal is to check for the stud (OR BOLT) bottoming in the hole which WILL break stuff when torqued down if not enough clearance. JMO!

"Trow me a...Bone here...need the info." HIS

I've bought and install Main Studs. Perhaps the Middle Cap Bolts would benefit, but the 4-bolt Outers, and the Rear Mains seems moot to change.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
