I thought it was the nut that was coming loose. It turns out the stud will not stay tight resulting in a leak. What can I do to keep the stud in tight? Would it be too hot for locktight? What are my options other than tightening it down till it breaks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

This happened to me on 3-4 of the studs. I bought new ones then cranked em in there real tight. I was way too nervous to put lots of torque on the old studs. Now I have some new, some old studs, with spares to replace the old ones when they come loose. Eventually, every part on my 914 seems to come loose and need attention (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I will be back under there replacing the poor "seal" I made on the stubs to my header this weekend and will check on my fix(es) while I am down there. |
