Are the copper coated nuts the way to go, or is using regular bolts, double bolting the way. I read something yesterday that said the copper nuts should only be used once...why?? Should I coat the studs with anything?

Most every engine I build gets a stub pipe of some sort, these have much greater clearance around the nuts and room for a stubby snap on 12 or 13mm wrench to get on the first nut, jam againt the tube(or head) and hold that nut tight while I put a torque wrench with a socket on the bottom nut.
I also have a long 13mm wrench that I bent into a hook on the end that can be used with stock heater boxes, but I haven't used that bastard in years! probably not since the last time I actually worked under a 914 ;-) |
