threadlock for turbo bolts? Anything on lines that go to block on SR?

[gotta240]

1. Is there any substance I can use on the bolts of my turbo to stop them from comming loose? Will high temp thread lock work?


2. Do I use anything on the threads of the oil and water lines that thread into the alluminum SR block? I'm paranoid about them coming out and blowing my motor, but I also am terrified of stripping them.... Should I use PVC thread tape before screwing them back in?

Thanks!

1. Use some anti-seize lube and these if stock turbo, which it sounds like, use the locking tabs.

2. Nothing's needed. Don't overtighten or you will strip the bolts.

2. Use new copper seals on the banjo bolts every time you remove them.

Tack weld the bolts down.

Nothing is needed to be placed on the threads of the lines.

If you're worried about the turbo bolts coming loose (turbo to manifold or elbow bolts), invest on some DP with a flex pipe on it. Nothing else will keep your bolts on than taking the pressure off them.

google nordloc washers. i used them on my friends s2000 down pipe bolts that were always getting loose. they have not loosened again yet.

Get motor mounts that's your problem on why they are backing out. I had this issue on my car, got new mounts and never had this issue again

I tack welded each and every fucking nut on that turbo. DONE.

Thanks for the tips guys. Wish I knew about the nordloc washers before, but this'll work.

Glad you wised up.

All that other stuff is nonsenseeeeeeee.
