Just another point of view.
If the tension bolts are installed with the recommended procedure of putting a spiral bead of RTV on them to prevent vibration fatigue, the bolt is not likely to break in the first place. If somehow it does anyway, they always (AFAIK) break at the threaded end. The RTV will prevent the bolt from backing out.
RTV sets by evaporating a carrier, doesn't it? How would it cure in an airtight bolt hole? Is it supposed to be allowed to cure before the bolt is inserted?
