The car was flat bedded to Series 9 with a "rod knock".
Turned out to be a flywheel knock. Make sure things are torqued up and it doesn't hurt to use some thread locker. Those 5 bolts cost this engine its bottom end. Here are the pictures. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Nose bearing saddle from the other end. The dowel pin was sitting there at a 45* angle.

There's no reason to use thread locker on a Type 4 flywheel at all.
When new bolts and a new lock plate are used, along with correct torque of 80 lb-ft, they will not ever come loose on their own. |

Well, there's no way to truly know on this one. I didn't build it. I didn't torque it. The new parts will get some thread locker for good measure. Cheap insurance. |

Had the same thing happen to me and my engine had just a couple thousand on it. Ever time I took my foot off the pedal there was a loud rumble. When I found out what it was 3 of the 5 flywheel bolts were sheared and the flywheel and end of the crank looked worse than yours. I reused the flywheel bolts I had before and looking at some other ones I had after the problem I noticed they were stretched, a costly mistake. I had the end of the crank and the flywheel resurfaced and it's ok now. Also got some new hardened bolts and will never reuse used bolts again.

I agree. Loctite is unnecessary when flywheel is properly installed. I hope I never encounter Loctite on one I'm removing
