Nylock's on header flanges

[MarcW]

will these work ok ? or are they gonna burn up on the first hot run? i got some nylocks with a set of headers for the flanges, they seem like they will burn up and loosen after gettin hot once or twice. should i just switch over to a standard locking washer/ nut? i wanna make sure these lock, with no leaks.

 

[stealthrunner1]

try some stover lock nuts, they look like normal nuts exept that they are crimped on one side and lock on the stud from friction...

 

[MarcW]

ahh, didnt even think of that. think they will stay locked under the extreme vibrations of constant high RPM's :clappy:

 

[stealthrunner1]

yep they will

 

[Travis1]

another one to look for is "omnitorq" nuts. Basically a metal version of a nylock.

Not sure if a stover is the same or not.

 

[Harvester of Sorrow]

Yes Travis 99.874% of the all metal locking nuts are crimped or slightly ob-rounded.

The nylock will not work...also MarcW when you are that close to the exhaust valves there is no such thing as a "hot run"...2 minutes into idling the nylon insert will be like butter...

Ask for metal grade 8 locknuts.

Nylocs on exhaust... Somebody needs to be taken out back and beaten with a rubber hose :haha:

You should just hot glue the headers on :flipoff:

 

[JACKED944RUNNER]

Or JB weld them on. Ohh maybe rubberbands. Or zipties.

[Spolar93]

i used G8.8 bolts and 2 lock washers on my headers. no leaks, no breaks, and sound as good as my gay v6 can
