Bolts backed out, help!!!
 

Last night my turbo exhaust exhaust housing (T3 flange) disconnected itself from the manifold. The bolts i guess vibrated out. What i did was just put a bolt through the holes and put a nut on it. I forgot about the washers. Would a lock washer keep the bolt from coming out. Any help please. :-\

Put jb weld on the threads before putting them back in the next time. And use the good jb weld, not the instant ----.

Thanks guys, I got some JB sittin around here somewhere. Also what about that lock washer between the housing metal and nut? Just askin

a washer would probably help also.

Lock tight works fine to

Wait, you can use locite on a nut in bolt, I thought you would use loctite if you are putting a bolt into a hole with no nut on the other side.

locktite is just another way to keep blots tightend down. get it....lock-tight. ;)

you can use it to pretty much use it in cases like this guy is having. there are also different levels of licktight. red and blue. make sure you use the ---- that will withstand the heat (this is why i sug. the old skool jb weld)

I"ve tried that all, lock washers won't work for very long, the plastic inside the lock nuts will melt out. I"m sure the high heat loctite might hold it for a while, but your best bet is to just put a tack weld on each bolt.
