Converter bolt backed out or broken flexplate...

[ecld_07]

Had one converter bolt that was backed out around 1/2 a thread. Pulled it out to check for wear, put some more locktite on it, and stuck it back in there. She's ready for SAR.

Well, the issue isn't resolved. Converter bolts are tight as hell. Flexplate isn't cracked.

I have figured out that it only does it when warm. Literally, almost as soon as I hit 210 on the gauge (actually 194 on scanner) it begins to knock. The scanner is showing no KR, oil level is good. Oil pressure is good. I'm beginning to think it is in the bottom end. :facepalm:
