  I just had a 10R80 I built a couple weeks ago come back leaking out the
front,  virtually all the pump bolts were loose,  I did not reuse the
factory ones, but used the ones in the Precision kits,  which have the
cheesey silicone applied around the bolt head,   So either I didn't get
them tight enough originally ?  which may simply be what happened, I
typically put them in with my speed handle, tighten them with my battery
powered impact, and recheck them with my speed handle, but I could have
been distracted during that process or pulled off to do something else ?
who knows ?

   What are most of ya'll using on these ?  the later design Ford bolts ?
or using these cheesey ones and maybe adding some locktite or adding a dab
of silicone ?
