How to stop bolts coming loose in your engine!!!

[@knives4apro485]

been using nordlocks for years. A must have in underground mining high frequency rock drills. A little tip tho.... dont reuse them. Yes you can reuse them in a pinch but save your self the drama and just chuck a new one on. when you undo them is rounds over the ramp between the 2 washers. once you go nordlock you wont use anything else.

[@evil_me]

Nordlocks are amazing, I use them on all of my engine and chassis builds!

[@creativeleodaily]

Can i use to to hold the Yamaha Nmax 125, Crankshaft bolt, as its coming lose after every 10 days of usage or 1000 KM ?

[@-smp-scientificmethodpersp838]

Haven't missed a video from this channel yet This is the coolest hack I've ever seen, even better than getting a bigger turbo.

[@danwerkman]

Yup.....ramp lock washers. Use them for a while and have not had any issues. Love your work...keep it up

[@garymallinson2292]

Nordlocks are great, Basic principle off them is that the ramp is steeper than the the pitch of the thread on the particular size bolt, therefore the slightest bit of wind out and the ramp up nips them tighter, however, avoid putting them straight onto a painted surface, the serrated sides don’t always work with it and will eventually rotate nullifying the design intent of the two ramped faces, I’ve been witness to lots of vibration to testing and seen them wind out for this very reason, and i guess in a high temp environment the issue could be exsasperated, spot faced surface tended to work better for us in the subsea industry.

Ur shop set up is amazing 😍

[@liamhollin8265]

They look fantastic, similar principle to security bolts. Such a simple solution amazing👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@joelevecque1973]

I love them. Engineered excellence!!

[@ClockworkJohn92]

Cool. I must try it. And gray engine paint looks awsome! So clean almost stock looking but... not. Very nice.

[@CamoSnowman]

Those are great! We use them on the wind turbines a lot.

[@Hitman-ds1ei]

Give you a tip from Ultra heavy diesel and marine field, use longer studs/ bolts by 100% if possibly have the room, with a thick wall steel spacer, this can also in most cases be used with a tin lock plate between to adjacent bolts that is tapped over heads and deformed hole keeps double secure, inconel bolts are best if can get them, reliability with this system is extremely high, just from experience in 2000+ hp engines

[@acengineer737]

I’ve used nordlock washers. Found they aren’t to good on a low torque installation. High torques seems to be fine

[@Rad_Triumph_765_RS]

I use those when building PLC cabinets

[@edd6113]

Nordlocks are OK, find they split after time in high heat situations. You ever look into longer bolts in sleeves, see that quite common on large modern diesel's. Believe its gives you more tension due to the added length and works like a stretch bolt in the head. Either way, if it works it works

[@koek2285]

I see those washers on the generator engine turbos I work with at sea. A good product.

[@gavcoopey9542]

Been watching this channel for a while (even though I have an OM642 powered Merc!) but as I work for Nord-Lock I have now subscribed! The guys at drift works also have the washers on the V10 e46 build....great product, loads of applications, nice to see it in real world use too rather than industrial projects 👍🏻

[@fdimichele]

brand name in usa is nord-lock.

[@glockster6848]

can i use it on my suppressor to prevent it from lloosening?

[@koek2285]

When are we going to see the performance gains of your billet manifolds?

[@yourealwaysright6770]

They’re a great solution

[@pco1984]

Mind you the material they "eat" into needs to be soft enough (Rockwell 50 iirc, but mind you I don't think you'll find that on most parts of an engine). Also make sure you to inspect both sides when you've disassembled them to be make sure they haven't worn too much. Other than that, nordlocks are pretty much the only non-chemical solution to have stuff stay in place.

[@gustavogarcia730]

Hello friend, thank you very much for your videos, can you tell me where is the serial number on the OM 606 non-turbo engine? thank you very much

[@Diesel8290]

I think a deal needs to be done with Mercedes for new crate engines, do you think they could be convinced Luke 😉😅

[@simonrowlands7472]

Thats a new one on me, great video thanks for the tip 👍

[@matiasahtinen]

The stock ones are Cu, but how about those stainless steel bolts? Do they break the aluminium thread? And what nm do you torque them?

[@Blub2]

Socket Head Cap Screws, which are also known as Allen head screws. They are not bolts. You insert the tool in the head so its a scew. If you put the tool around it its a bolt.

[@Lauradahl-creations]

I need some of these washers because I just installed a new exhaust manifold and gaskets on my engine but the bolts keep loosening. I think I may have put too much antiseize on the bolts too. 🤯

[@coreyellisart6877]

So I figured I'd hit you up to ask you a question on a video with a limited amount of comments you seem like the person everybody is talking about when it comes to the Mercedes diesels I am out here in the USA Implanon doing a compound turbo setup on an inline 6 Mercedes I'm well-versed with the Cummins and have and have done a ton of mods in house with those I have access to either and 94 3.5 L diesel or a 87 3 l i have had a handful of the 87 but I have never owned a 3.5 my plan is to change out the injection pump and at a compound turbo setup I'm just curious on how strong the internals are on the 3.5 and realistically how much boost that short bursts can the Head handle seeing how close the cylinders are to each other what's your thoughts

[@marksam6824]

Hi Sir. I would like to fit OM606 to a Nissan Patrol, the 3ltr diesel is just to much to overall. Can you please give some points on what I can do using manual gearbox with massive patrol clutch.

[@tractortom94]

Did you ever try stover or aerotight nuts?

[@hameedsrt9095]

Hey man I don’t know if your seeing this but can you post a mod list that u have on the mercades diesel w124

[@cephasgunn1993]

Man this video is what i needed, unless there is someone here that can tell me different. my problem is the locating bolts and shock absorber bolts are discontinued for my vehicle, so I have to get other bolts ect. one thing i thought was instead of lock tite put some epoxy jb weld on the threads to act as a stop, but the bolts are for the subframe to the bushings on a fwd car. I have found grade 10.9 bolts to suit the shock absorbers (flange bolts) however im unable to find reasonable flange bolts for the 120mm length i require. hence im looking up different types of washers to secure the bolt firmly in place. so its not gonna come off when im driving down the highway at 60-70kmh. so the thought is hex bolts with flange nuts and two sets of these washers to ensure it stays, along with the jbweld i think should more than do the trick any advice on this?

Never seen those before, l was waiting on tr safety wire and pliers to be whipped out.

Nordlock washers are shit hot.

[@mastershaun6412]

Nord lock washers, everything on Dynapac has got nord locks on shame other manufacturers don’t

[@Mike-yq6jg]

Nice one thanks

[@CyberdriveAutomotive]

The tried and true aircraft safety wire method will always work, but it will always be a pain in the ass.

[@roadiesgarage3816]

Has anyone found a good source for bolts of any type with holes in the heads for lockwire/safety wire. Its we used in the USAF on almost every bolt on the airplanes. I've only ever seen them on high performance brake rotor to top hat interfaces in the automotive world.

[@888johnmac]

just drill the bolts

[@roadiesgarage3816]

Nordlock, FMFW!

[@tamasdeak1938]

The people who disliked this video never used Nordlock in their life 🙄

[@gunhappyie]

Workshop hack: Little do people know but there is a hidden feature in every bolt to lock it. It's as simple as hitting the bolt with a hammer while on its first thread before using the biggest bar you have to tighten it home ! Itll NEVER come loose !!!!

[@jmyd83]

👍

[@mannine99]

oh its an issue, i thought my one piece exhaust looses them.

[@cullenmiller8170]

I won’t have to worry than on my OM 603 turbo it hardly can get out of its own way in the W140 chassis. 🤣🤣

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

I’m surprised that works to be honest as i’ve seen those anti slip washers but they were for hi vibration applications not high heat. The high heat obviously expands the length of the bolts which, added with vibrations makes them susceptible to working loose.

[@240d30W115]

they work fine on high heat

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

@@240d30W115 I never said they wouldn’t or don’t, i am just surprised is all. Maybe the expansion rate of the washers is higher than the bolts ? In the past motor manufacturers used copper nuts because they expanded more than the steel exhaust manifold studs.

Used this washer on qubofiat great fault gone best £6 ever spent
