Has anyone tried the 'tighten down whilst the engine is hot' method of
securing the header nuts?

I've used the silicone on the threads on the right side nut since it
seemed to be the only one that would come loose. Worked very well but
was a bit messy when taking it apart; the silicone stuck to everything.

Thanks Ian, Gary
I do like the idea of the hi-temp silicone, seems like it would "absorb"
some vibration along with sealing. Do you apply it to the threads at

all? A

thin coat probably wouldn't hurt.

My stock nuts always backed off. Maybe like Gary said... Worn threads,
although they do look very good considering the abuse they have been

through

maybe the pitch "widened" a bit, probably in the head and probably the

right

worse than the left. It sounds like the hi temp silicone might just be

the

ticket. Maybe I'll try both with silicone, Either way, thanks.
