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.

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.
