Need a little help, is there supposed to be a washer under the nut that holds the rocker shaft to the stud? Also, any suggestions on which Loctite to use on this nut?
Thanks |

excellent idea, someone put standard flat washers on mine, and I would like a little more thread inside the nuts since I had to shim the rocker shafts.
I appreciate the help bubblehead....onward, time to finish this project! |

almost everything should have a washer under it. it increases the friction surface area and helps things stay together. also spreads the load of the fastener

Remember, it's a SEVEN millimeter washer, NOT and EIGHT millimeter washer. OE is a spring washer, BTW.

Thank you, I'm looking for the spring washers, I have a shipment coming from Raby , they might have some old ones for me. I'll wait and finish the job correctly, no hurry, there's still a little road salt on the streets here in the Detroit area, no way my baby is gonna get any of that stuff on her.
