Hi all,simple question.Nyloc cylinder head nuts or not? My malossi 210 vibrates so subsequently everything loosens!

No

Use a thick flat washer, good quality spring washer and a deep nut

Torque it up to 17lbs/ft

Have you looked into why it's vibrating so much?

Standard or aftermarket crank?

Aftermarkets tend to be shite so if so good chance it's out of kilter.

use a flat washer, a spring washer, and I use 4 of the longer headcowling distance nuts instead of the normal nuts, torqued to 18 ftlbs.

as I understand it you should never use "Nyloks" or similar self locking nuts on studs that are in alloy. The nyloks/ self locking nuts can lock so tight that it unscrews the thread rather than just the nut.

As stated above- flat washer; locking washer; then plain nut.
