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)

and all these years I was worried about nothing.
Many moons ago, when installing my Kerry/Hunter header system with "shorties" "Stubby" exhaust The headers pipes were a bit big, I couldn't use a nut, short but quick fix, (I really wanted to hear these headers!) I used one of my CV bolts,(six side) used a couple washers,snug it in I've kept an eye on 'em only time I had to re tight them was after the first time and the exhaust copper washer settle in. They stayed in since. The best part, real easy to reach with allen head socket no open end wrench |
