Re: Washers under head nuts?

Per chance, if u r running an Aluminum head then check the parts manual to determine if it takes a different washer... Probably much more thick than a CI head.
In any case Owen gives good advice on the aircraft HEAD BOLT type washer (not just any Aero washer).
Do not use a standard hardware store washer unless it is hardened to some degree t hat is harder than a standard part washer.
The hardened wqssher tends to act as a locking device to keep the head bolt or stud nut from loosening.
