My starter bolts keep backing out.
About 5 months ago I had to replace a perfectly good starter because I trashed it trying to start while the bolts were letting the starter wander around. When I replaced the starter, I used red loctite on the bolts so that this wouldn't happen again, and it just did yesterday. I didn't end up destroying the starter this time, so I was able to tighten the bolts back up, but I'm sure at this point that it's going to happen again.
This didn't start happening until I had to replace the original starter about two years ago. After that, the starter stayed where it was supposed to for about a year and a half before backing out.
What am I doing wrong?
