Turbo Coming Loose

[discopotato03]

Sometimes the manufacturers specify "ovalised nuts" in high temp situations . I have seen nuts with serrated threads that go on ok and lock up if you try to unscrew them , often why exhaust manifold studs break if you try to remove their nuts .

Mafia you may need to support your manifold from underneath and lower down on the block . One fellow I know used to use the engine mounts top stud and nut as the foot of his brace .

Cheers A .

Yes many people would like to fit those to the "stud" of the person who designed them .
