V band clamp nuts backing off... How tight can I tighten the 1/2" nuts on my Dynatech V band clamps? I have them right behind my collectors, connecting my headers to my y pipe.
I can tighten them down with my 1/2" ratchet, but after about a week they loosen up enough to leak and drive me crazy. Could I use some locktite? Or how about a big pull-bar. I don't want to break them, but I'm tired of re-tightening every week.
