One thing I love about these bikes, each one has it's blessings and quirks.

Greg, the two are made from different metals. The aluminum expands at a
different amount/rate than the nut. So I do it once cold and then again hot
(gas stop). After a couple gas stops, even with antiseize, there is not
tightening to do. This summer after 2000 miles I checked again, no
loosening, tight as ever. And on these parts (heads and nuts) the threads
were not in the best of shape. I do use the frame rail clamps as well
though. And I seriously doubt a hook wrench is gonna collapse anything.
unless there were other problems present already.

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? Greg Field
