Thread: losing torque converter bolts

Tweet

well your holes may be to big in the fly wheel then they will shift .i think this must be the case. if you tack it and now it is shifting if the tacks did bust .tacks are not that strong.i drill the fly wheel and stall use 7/16 -20 or 1/2 bolts.grade 8 with lock nut that ends it. 620 loc tite on it you will never get them off with out heat .with loctite you have to do one bolt at a time it can dry fast .leave the bolts in and take one out at a time .but if the holes are to big in the fly wheel then its not going to work .if you do not fix the bolt holes

The snout on the converter should be a tight fit in the hole in the crankshaft. Some cheapie aftermarket converter snouts aren't the right diameter, causing problems such as yours.
