hey guys what kind of exhaust manifold nuts are you utilizing for the cylinder head. i did a search and found nothing. Where can i find the ones that won't back out the head i already got studs in the cylinder head. basically where can i find hi temp locking m8 by 1.25 nuts

 

I use loctite HIGH TEMP and I use extra long bolts, thread them through the mani and then I double nut them.

Never backed off once......

Lockwashers help too. I use them also on my mani to head bolts.

 

Atp sells some copper nuts. $.95 each

 

^I use those and they never back out. What sucks is when you have to remove them.

 

i used stock nuts that are on the head to start with never had a problem

Werd me too!

 

I used lock washers and I only lost 1 or two within 6 months of daily driving. I checked them all of the time too.

Beat me to it.

They dont like to stay in place as well after the first use. Stock ones seem to do a good jjob also.

stock nuts work fine.

torque then to the proper specs, thats important to.

 

be sure to also clamp the castle part of it so it holds on tighter. Afterawhile the castle tops like to flare out.

 

thanks guys
