Timing gear case bolts

While fixing my KDP, I removed three of the five bolts that hold the timing gear case to the block and cleaned/loctite them. There were two behind the cam gear I could not remove - one of them I could tighten with the socket, the other one required a 10mm wrench with a bend in it. The three I could take out were so loose that I could unscrew them with my fingers

but the ones behind the cam gear were still tight.
The KDP was still tight in the bore and fully seated. The engine has unknown milage, definately over 200k, but probably between 200-220k.
