hey i just put engine in my swift and when i was doing up the bolts to the rear engine mount 1 of the threds in the block was fucked, it tightens a tiny bit then goes loose again so theres is only 3 in there strong and 1 in bit shit do you think it will be ok, im only going to use this engine tempary till i build a new engine, think i might get some lock tight just to hold it in a little more but aint going to do shit ?

maybe buy front strut brace off garndi cus it has extra engine support on it ?

If three are in there and torque up properly you'll probably be OK, Thread lock will do nothing. How long is 'temporarily', If its longer than a month or two pull it out and helicoil it.
