Loose FS muffler
Any hints or tips on how to make the muffler on an O.S. 180 fs to stay tight at the head.
I'm afraid to crank down on the lock nut any tighter and I've tried Loctight but heat makes it release.
I can get a little heavy handed and just feel like those threads will give before I do.

The high temp RTV is a great tip. Also, try getting the engine warm then re-torquing the lock nut while it is still hot.

Works everytime.
