USe stover (not sure if that is correct name or Not) nuts. The top of the nut is kind of like a caslte nute but is squeezed oblong. Usualy used on critical compnents subject to high heat or other rigorous conditions.

THe problem with lock washers and locktite is the heat. Lock washers are or a spring steel type metal and loose tension under heat. Loctite melts.

The only other option is double lock nutting IF there is enuf thread left to get another nut on to jam against the original nut.
