anybody in here ever have an issue with their flexplate bolts backing out on them after some spirited driving. This is the second time it's happened to me. It's a JW "the wheel" flexplate 157 tooth internal balanced flexplate and I'm using arp flexplate bolts. Using loctite each time and torqueing the bolts to 95 ft lbs. this last time I noticed a bit of oil in the threads so I grabbed some brake cleaner and cleaned all the threads out. I am hoping this is the fix but just throwing this out there if anyone has had the same issue as me?
