Hey yall i took out the crappy zex nozzle and put a NX nozzle in its place- well i used the nozzle fitting instead of just threading the nozzle right through the aluminum tubing- well i used to thread lock to keep it from comming un done- but now it isnt tight (Even though i made sure it was b4 i left it to set) and now the nozzle can move freely what should i do about this....... should i just take it apart and use a lock washer instead of the thread lock?

Input plz thanks-

 

Are you rtalking about the two piece locking nut? Once that thing locks down it should be good to go..

ya thats what im talking about- but the one im using is from the zex kit- so i shouldnt have to use thread locker? so just get it loose and tighten it really good?-

 

Lotite should be fine, and seems to always to the job around here.. Take it apart clean it real good. Make sure the area you are tightening against is flat. The tube might have gotten a tweek during the install. Anyway reinstall use RED loctite. tighten to halfs together TIGHT and you should be good. I would even let the loctite get between the nut and the tube.

well it not on a flat surface- my whole intake including plenum has a rounded edge- so i think im just gonna take it apart and then redo it- i will let you know how it goes
