Title: A10 threadlock
Post by: Mitch77 on 10 Jan, 2019, 19:59
Hi all
Just purchased SS studs and nuts for my A10 SR barrels simple question when fitting these should I use a thread lock on them ? Any pointers most welcome.
Thanks
Mitch

Don't think you need stud lock for the engine studs. Never used it before on engine barrel studs. Just tighten them finger tight and then a little bit so they are firm. The torque when tightening the head nuts will keep the studs in place. Also threadlock can be a right PITA if you need to remove them if locked in place!!
