When using GM bolts, and it looks like you did, you torque it to 24o lb/ft with the old bolt, then install a new bolt to 37 lb/ftt and add 140 degrees.

BUT, since you used the new bolt to torque to 240 lb/ft and completely seated the balancer you may have over stretched the new bolt. Technically you should remove the bolt and install a brand new bolt to 37 lb/ft and 140 degrees. You can either leave it as is or run in a new bolt, your call. But for the small cost of a new bolt personally I'd run in a new bolt.

It's not about the cost of a new bolt, am just afraid to back it up and brake it, got blue locktight on it.
But if it will cause harm leaving it torqued at 240lb I wll replace the bolt.

Just run an ARP crank bolt, that's what I did. It's damn sight easier, and it can be reused.

New bolt is not the concern here as they are only $11, so I do not mind buying a new one every time. My concern is what I have stated above, new bolt was installed and torqued to 240lb ft with some blue locktight, will it explode if i leave it? or should it be removed and replaced?

Remove it, and replace it, since it's a torque to yield bolt. it's now stretched. The new balancer bolt should not be torqued to 240 ft/lbs, rather install it at 37 ft/lbs + 140°.

Should any Loctite be applied to the new bolt??

Yes, blue loctite.

New bolt installed, 37lb ft + 140 degree seems tighter then the 240lb ft, but all in and snagged, got lucky with this one.

Good deal.
