Default Header Bolts Comming Loose???

Here's a good fix for those loose header bolts.
Use Nordloc washers from Fastanal or google Nordloc.
I've been using these for 2yrs now and they work the best.

Pretty neat idea but, what happens when it comes time to remove the fastener. Looks to me like it would work against you like it would when it is in place.

They work great!!!
I used them on my old Chevelle and could back off a bolt no problem.
I'll be using them for all my lock washer needs for this project.
