Don't forget to loc-tite the bolts. Absolutely essential.

Are we talking the "super glue" Loc-tite?
Will it bind with all the lubricants around there ?

Glad you got it sorted. I rotate the converter gradually tightening the bolts in increments. I use new bolts and never had any work loose after using loc tite.

I had to abandon a run this morning as I seem to have a nice metallic thonky-rattle noise from the back of the engine on idle (but not when D engaged and under load.) I remembered MattH warning on flex plate bolts so my first port of call will be this. Let you know ! ! Hoping for an easy fix...
