Nyloc Big End nuts
#1
I finally managed to collect my crankshaft and flywheel assembly for the Top Hat engine from the balancing shop yesterday. I was chatting with the guy there who builds a lot of competition engines. I explained at one point that I was intending to use Nyloc nuts on the big ends, as I have done for the last twenty years or so. 
He scratched his head and said "I'm not sure I would use them. They're good up to about 70 degrees centigrade, then they lose their grip. I'd stick with the split pins and castle nuts."

I know this has been discussed before but what do the rest of you guys think? I've never had a problem with Nyloc nuts but...…..
