It's probably the sort of thing that will require more frequent re-tensioning.

Spring washers or Nyloc nuts won't deal with the heat. K nuts or Jet-Nuts might be an option but due to the very cramped access winding a locking fastener on half a flat at a time with a bent spanner, my tongue out trying to do it isn't my idea of fun.
Dougy knows what hes talking about. Its a very hard access point and this has been the first time that this has happened since it was installed a good year ago. So I dont think its a problem of the fasterners just bad luck. Its an easy although time consuming fix, but is only minor in the grand scheme of things.

Its good to see it was only a simple problem with a relatively easy fix.

I've had some success with an exhaust to turbo manifold flange nut using Loctite 262. It's a super stud locker. Might be worth a look.

Or something like this. Copper compression lock luts.

Stainless steel, can also have the other effect of gauling and binding.
