[NSRCA-discussion] NMP header

[Matthew Frederick]

MessageI'm only running 2 washers on my 140 and it has never come loose. OK, now that I've said that, it will. But one thing I've heard people doing is after tightening, they run the engine until it is up to operating temperature, then re-tighten.

Good luck!

  Had the same problem until I added another washer between header flange and engine. I am running 3 washers now and all is well. Reason being the threaded section is too long therefore it bottoms out inside the cylinder head and the header never really tighens up. 

   

  I am sure Troy will chime in here and provide similar advise.

  Having trouble trying to keep NMP header tight on YS160. Have the NMP header brace on it but the header still works loose. Is their a lock tight or other compound or some other trick that will keep it in place?
