Hey, so apparently the plate that holds the input shaft loosens up from vibrations because it was under-torqued from factory? I tried searching on different forums about this subject but I haven't found much. Most of the information I'm getting is from two different youtube videos. I'm wondering if this is really that widespread as some comments say it is. I'm kind of kicking myself that I didn't loctite the screws that hold the input shaft plate when upgrading my oil pump cover a couple weeks ago. Question is, should I go ahead and do this ASAP, or just wait till next oil change and check it then. My 14 doesn't really make any weird noises but I'd rather take care of it before it chips something. Thanks.
