Default Flywheel bolts

I had a pretty loud metallic sound when I would turn the car on and off. Tracked it down to the bolts on the flywheel. Tightened them all back up and the noise is gone now so I'm sure thats what the problem was. I have two questions, is there anything I can do to keep that from happening again in the future? Also when I turned the car on the flywheel was pretty wobbly and my dad said he doesn't think the flywheel is gonna last too much longer. Now I don't really understand how he got to that conclusion but I wanted to know if there was any upgrade for the flywheel. I'm getting a built transmission for it in a couple months so I figured I could just upgrade it if possible when I do the trans swap.

Yes red lock tite on the bolts. You should match a new flywheel with a clutch. I do have a used t56 flywheel and Arp bolts Fs if interested

Red loctite, got it. Once again thank you guys.

I've got a 4l60e. I was wondering if there was a lighter flywheel or stronger flywheel that would be recommended if I did have to replace my stock one.
