My exhaust studs on my engine keeps coming loose, its the second time after i tightened it. I don't want to over tighten the cheap Chinese studs in the block because I don't want to strip it. I was thinking of cutting a grade 8.8 automotive M6 bolt and using that as the two exhaust studs. But I am wondering what kind of nuts I should use. After using lock washers, and watching the Bolt Science video posted by pucksterpete, I dont know what else I should trust! lol. I was thinking Nylon but I maybe the heat might tamper with it.
