Tensioner Pulley Issue, Coolant leak in hole???? Options

[Tigawoods]

EDIT:
figured out the issue. going to use a shorter length bolt and see if a fab shop will weld the end of the hole shut


what the f***
the timing issue came down, to what I had assumed it was, the tensioner.
Now after removing the tensioner.
Coolant came gushing out of the bolt hole.


at the end of the hole there must be a small crack where coolant is leaking out and causing the bolt to loosen.
What the hell do I do now





So this has happened a few times now with the same result

Timed the engine perfectly, put tension back on.
Start the car, car stops running after 3-5 seconds
Check the timing marks after the car dies(pushed the lower crank to 0 ) and the Cam mark has been 5-7 teeth retarded (while the crank is at 0)

all I can really see this being is a tension problem.
I just installed a new Asisn tensioner, the tension spring is stock.

hmmmmm i wish i could see this happen. ok so both the 5S and 7A are driven by the exhaust gear. can you post pics of what the cam position is when the you turn the crank to 0.
