Wow! I thought John (the OP) was back in the 993 game!
He is a great guy and had an amazing C2s back in the day.

Yep - I always find loose bolts with every pre-track inspection. The only loose nut I ever found was behind the steering wheel.

Blue Loctite is your friend. Torquing them tighter just runs the risk of breaking the bolt.
