Default RE: How to keep muffler bolts tight

Works for people flying in their planes, so I would have to agree there. My buddy is an aircraft parts chief inspector. He wires his stuff too. It'll never come off.

But....I have used blue lock tite on threads cleaned up thoroughly with brake clearner (use q tips to get in the engine threads). It has not come loose yet. I thin layer of permatex ultra copper for a gasket is good too.

If you wire them and use permatex ultra copper for a gasket, that would be the ultimate setup.

Drill the bolt head and safety wire those bad boys. Absolute solution.
