I was working on the motor last night trying to get it ready to drop in this weekend and while I was putting the oil pump on, one of the bolt heads broke off in the block and now its stuck in there with loctite red on it!!! Now I have to take it to my job and have my machine shop guy get it out for me...just another delay!!!!

Why are you loctiting the bolts into the block? They are a lower torque number for a reason. Loctite is actually a very good way to throw off your torque numbers.

I just tightened my bolts till they start to get easier to turn, then back off half a turn. Usually holds.

That's one flimsy ass bolt, or else you're torqueing the living shit out of a bolt that should be about 12 ft/lbs tops. Remember, you're torqueing down an aluminum plate.
