I don't have any of the factory nuts to hold the windage tray in place and would like to finish putting the motor back together. The hardware store does not have any m8x1.25 serrated nuts like the stockers, so I bought lock nuts with the nylon in the center. Anybody see a problem with this? tia-Garrett

 

Well i guess it would work. Im not sure how strong those studs are but give it a shot! Just be careful and make sure that the nylon from those nuts doesnt come off.

 

The nylon will get soft from the hot oil and loosen up on you.Don't do it .

 

^that's what I'm worried about.

 

I'd use a regular nut with red lock-tight and a lockwasher before I'd use a nylon locking nut.

 

Most of the heat ratings I've been able to find online are at 250*f. Looks like I'll be heading back to the hardware store tomorrow.

 

I wouldnt risk it. I would just use what ever is used from the factory and some loctite couldnt hurt

 

I use red loctite.
