Hmmm … that’s a scary thought, as there = are 15 other bolts in question.  Either this one was lighter coated, l= ighter tensioned than the rest or the others are also in jeopardy.

I put a heavier spiral on the replacement bolt, whic= h is also larger in diameter.

Looks like you needed to be much more ge= nerous with the RTV when installing.   It should look a LOT messier th= an what yours looked like.   There needs to be enough to smear off on the housings when installing.
