Default holley intake won't seal? HELP!

I have a buddy of mine with a 2000 ws6 and he bought the holley intake. He had it ported somewhere also. everytime he puts it on an starts the car the bolts begin to walk out. what can be done to prevent this. the bolts are torqued, loctite is being used. He has tried more than 10 times and it keeps doing it. please let me know if you guys have run into this problem at all and how you solved it.

Does he have any clearence problems? In the past the intake did have these problems which can be fixed by changing out the valley bolts as the head of the bolts were to think causing clearence issues. You might want to check it as Holley said that it was just a bolt on and it was not!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
