How soon are they coming loose? Never had an issue with stock rocker arm nuts coming loose. Are you sure you are setting the valve lash properly?

You could try doubling up the nuts. There's no reason it should come loose after that.

i'll double your nutz ss.slp.ls1

haha anyways, yea if the nuts are coming loose on their own, then loctite won't do anything for them. I'd try to score some second hand nuts if the studs don't like second hand nuts either, go for some polylocks like mr gasket or arp
