the bolt selection was left-handed thread due to the proximity of the crank pulley; if your patchwork fails, you risk overheating (no waterpump) and heavy steering (no power steering pump).
You can purchase left-handed helicoil inserts to fix the problem; right handed thread bolts will loosen with any aggressive acceleration. You can also visit a boneyard and buy a replacement assembly.
