I guess when I tightened mine hot I was thinking that the exhaust port was a
larger size than normal, the nut being ambiant temp. would be able to
bury(for lack of better words)itself deeper into the port. As the heads
cooled it would constrict the nut(Alumium cooling faster than the nut). As
the whole assembly heated up everything would remain tight together. With
that, the only problem, as I saw it, would be that aluminum heats and cools
faster that the metal(whatever that might be)of the nut.
Does this makes sense?, beats me. I just had to try diffent things to get
the darn things to stay put.
This didn't seem to make any differance on my bike, but like others have
posted it has worked for them.
Don't even ask about the "hot head, hot nut" theory, Jeeze, When I tried
this I was really grasping in the dark! Nope, it didn't work, lasted about
six hours.

I'm interested in the tools, too.
A question about the tighten-while-hot method:
If the metal expands when it gets hot, wouldn't the nut grow in
diameter at the same time the circumference of the threaded area of
the port shrinks, making the whole sitch worse?
I've always tightened cold for that reason, but maybe my
understanding of what's happening is flawed?

I know it's probably been mentioned but it's VERY important to use the frame/exhaust clamps to keep the threads from wearing out.....
