Natty B 1987 Cat 34 #412: Upon inspection I found one of the 8 lag screws that secure the engine mounts to the stringers had worked it way out completely. Has anyone had this problem and what have they done to remedy it? I reinstalled the lag screw and tightened the other 7 and they all snugged up. Also checked for alignment with the shaft. Recommendations have been 5200, thread locker, toothpicks and/or longer screws.
