    Remember loctite takes at least 12 hrs. to set properly.Can't imagin setting the timing at 6000 rpm,3500 should be more than enough.Are you reving the motor with no load to 7200 in the shop?No wonder parts are coming loose.

      And most importantly, if it hasn't been done, dowel the flywheel to the crank flange. There's likely an extra hole in the crank flange that is 'empty'. On my 2.0L Pinto engines, I always install a 7/16" diameter dowel. That fixed the 'loose bolt' problem. But you'll likely have to drill a companion hole in the flywheel for the dowel to run through. -Dave-
