I have a question, I have a sbc lt1 and the tci flexplate 399174 and Arp bolts and the bolts backed out at the crank and in doing so it made the holes to the crank larger! Question is can I reuse? Of course I'm going to red loctite then in and step torque them in or is this flexplate now garbage? Need opinions check out the pics

I'd never trust that plate to not move again, junk it. If you are reusing the crank from that mess I'd look those bolt holes over very carefully.

It's junk and so are the bolts. Keep in mind the rpms it will see and the torque it has to deal with, I wouldn't chance it.

ya that's true just sucks hope the loctite works this time but the Arp bolts look fine

Junk the bolts and flywheel!!! loctite won't keep the FW from moving again. I wouldnt reuse um

When the holes opened up, you lost a lot of the clamping surface area. I'd recommend a new flexplate.

Is red loctite recommended for these bolts? About to install the flexplate on my swap and definitely want to make sure I'm using the right type of thread lock

I don't care if it's recommended or not lol I put Loctite 277 on there because not only did it ruin the flexplate but it push the converter back into the pump so now it's not going to happen again!! Well least I hope it doesn't
