Default not good

alright guys i might have a problem here... a while back i fixed the kdp. had my case welded by one of the professors at college. when i put everything back together, i wanted to make sure none of that crap would ever happen again, so i red loctited the 4 or 5 bolts that are inside the case.... now i have an oil leak between the timing case n the block. im sure you can see my predicament.... how am i gonna get those little suckers back outta there?

not lookin forward to pullin the cam n everything again, but i think im just gonna put a new case on it. im not very proud of the whole external lubrication system so i gotta do somethin.

If they are really hard to get out you, can heat them up a little. But if you do, don't re-use them.
