Torque converter bolts keep backing out

[HURRICANE HAVOK]

i dont know what to do.
i used tread lock alot and still backing out.

If you mean they are backing out, then try new bolts, blue locktite, and proper torque. That should be enough to hold them.

If they're bagging out, then I have no idea how to help you.

What did you torque them to?

I fixed your thread title. Now, follow this rule:

Do you have a torque wrench?

This is actually a very common problem with auto dsms. Some people cut down arps and that works but I would rather not risk it so I tack weld mine. Very easy to do and then you never have to worry about.

I find that ALL bolts backing out is a very common problem on DSMs, but somehow I don't think it's a design flaw.

Thank you so much. I will tack weld them my friend told me about that.

Be sure to clean out the bolt holes with brake clean before installing bolts. If there is any paint from the converter being painted in the bolt holes it needs to be removed from the threads. Use red loctite and torque to at minimum 50 ft. lbs. Re-torque after the first heat cycle. The arp bolts give a lot of surface area to clamp down on, but you will have to take 1 or 2 threads off of the bolts. They are meant for a 700r4 torque converter and come in a 3 pack from jegs or summit racing.
