Thanks Chitah. Just so everyone knows Cameron at 1320motorsports is the shiznit. He takes great care of me and puts up with my endless phone calls and numerous inquiries. The car is sick Cam. I cant wait for you to drive it! I do have red loc-tite on now and the bolts have been fine for a week now, so we'll see. I will keep checking them however. Chitah, how long did it take to melt the red loc-tite?

 

You could also try a lock washer. Or make your own lock nut by setting the nut on it's side and tapping it with a hammer or smashing it in a vise a little. What this does is deforms the nut just enough to make it lock down onto the threads as you tighten it. Or there are 12 point lock nuts available also.

 

You sound like me with my tuner...

The loctite wore off in a couple weeks or so. When one of my bolts completely came off I knew there was a problem

I actually have reverse studs installed now and have a nut that tightens down onto the studs instead of the allenhead bolt screwing down into the manifold (if that makes any sense). This was done by my tuner and he has had great success on his race setups so he gave it a shot on mine. So far after a few months I hardly had to tighten any bit.
