The set screw holding the Heater in the block has also seized into the aluminum and has to be drilled out.
if the 24V heaters weren't so expensive I would just chunk it also.

So two heaters for $5 is expensive? Where are you shopping at?

if the throat is loose, most likely cause is the heating element wire is not tied right, when your x-axis move back and forth, the heating element wire constanty attempt to unscrew the heat block from throat. zip tie the heating element/themistor wire at at least two spot on hotend can greatly reduce this.

I think that is the max torqur the aluminum block will take. what else can I do to keep it from leaking.

Thanks
