what can happen is the threaded holes have oil and other contamination messing up the locker...use a spray can of solvent / electric contact cleaner with a spray straw to clean out the holes ..even use a small wire pipe fitting brush to clean out the rust/debris ..

As in post 2 always check engine dial pins for missing and wear and pushed off center. And transmission dial pin holes for wear.

Also converter pads fit to flywheel.

On the engine mounting bolts double check for torque and tightness.
I always use a breaker bar or long 3/8 ratchet to tighten them.
Get them good and tight.
But stop before you twist them off.

And make sure no engine vibration or drive shaft vibration when driving down the road.
Any vibration will loosen up engine mounting bolts.
Good Luck
