Update. I've managed, unintentionally, to replicate what the PO did with the JB Weld. I used blue loctite when I torqued all the caliper bolts at all four wheels. Today, On a whim, I backed off the top caliper bolt on the passenger side front and commenced with the torque wrench at 10'lb increments. Lo and Behold... It torqued to 60'lbs with no feeling of about to give or sponginess. So, I feel a little more confident for a quick run to the local cornerstore, but I have the time-serts on order(2weeks on back order!), and a helicoil to be picked up from Oreilly tomorrow.
