How do YOU stop the bolts holding the exhaust flange on turbo from backing out?
I'm having a hard time keeping bolts in that hold the exhaust flange on the turbo from backing out. I was debating putting a dab of JB Weld on the corners to hold them in. I have the big bolts that hold the turbo to the manifold tack welded on but I can't do that these little bolts because if I wanna take the exhaust off later I won't be able to get to the welds with a grinder or impact wrench to break them loose. So what do YOU use to keep those bastards snug?
we were told to use it and it did the trick, but i will agree with you i didnt think it would work, yet it did. or it could be we torqued the livin shit out of the bolts and got lucky with that on it
in my past history with jbweld it breaks down under heat as well, it just takes a while to do

Jb weld is good for giving you false hope. The loctite will work fine, just let it dry up.
Do you have any lock washers, or locknuts? They might help you too.
