I've cleaned maybe 4 sets and they've all sprung back out. Takes a bit to break a spring (guessing there a spring inside them)

any tips on fitting the exhaust studs, im guessing i should tap out the holes so they dont have any crap in there, but what about making sure they are tight, should i wind a nut right down to the blank on the stud and then make sure the stud is tight that way?
and does the long end or short end go in, im guessing short.....
short side in with some loctite and double nut the stud because if wind a nut to the shoulder it will tighten up on the shoulder before it tightens up in the thread.
and what are those nyloc nuts for? hope there not to hold the cap caps down?
thanks for the stud info, and yeh, those lock nuts are for the cam caps, should i not use them?Quote:
