Water pump bolt issue
Water pump bolt issue So had to remove my water pump because I broke a bolt on my thermostat housing (anything water pump is my kryptonite for some reason) well putting the pump back on the passenger side top bolt went in but for some reason decided not to stop. I pulled the pump it went in without issue even stopped but I didn't press the issue not wanting to crack the block. Anyway put the pump back on and tightened the bolt down, it went in and kept spinning again I got it to 15lb of torque and it still spun a bit, only with a ratchet can't turn it by hand. All the other bolts went into problem. My question is what are the chances the bolt will hold? I also put locktite on all of them so they're going no where.
