Are you luck ducky, got a 400? You may have thought of this, watch the breakaway torque of the bolts. It may give you a clue. Other thoughts any bolt hole that protrudes into the coolant will need thread sealant, it seals the bolt and lubricates the thread to achieve proper torque. The strait six in the brown van died for the same problem.

No not a 400 but a 350 bored 60 thou over (so nearly). I've ordered fresh bolts and will seal them with Loctite medium threadlock. Thanks jcd74.
