There are washers called Nordlock's that are good for this use. I use them on
the downpipes on my E-Type. they hold.tom

Brass nuts are fairly soft so may be the split washers work there
way into the flanges of the nuts thus loosening them up. You may
try SS nuts or a steel washer between brass nut and spring washer.Another
possibility is that the lock washer loses its tension
because it gets to hot.I am not a lover of split lock washers anyway as they
damage the
surface of the nut and the item that is bolted down. I always
prefer the smooth but slightly bent ones (don't know the proper
name for them)

Listers,
Today, I had to tighten the 6 nuts on my exhaust down
pipes. This is the second time in 2 years I have had to do
this. What is causing the nuts to work loose? Each of the 6
studs from the exhaust manifolds has split lock washers and
brass nuts on the down pipe flanges. Each time time I have
tightened the nuts, I tighten them until the nuts squeak.
What am I doing wrong and does anyone else have this
issue? What do I need to do to fix this? The car is a 66 BJ8
with stock manifolds and down pipes.
Thanks for any advice, I'm stumped,
Fred66 BJ8
