Hi Peter,
I'm aware of Nord-lock washers...didn't have any on hand, only split washers.
Since a bolt with Nord-lock washers increases the tension when unscrewed, I wonder if it would exert enough force to affect the soft aluminum threads in the cylinder head?
Do I really need to spend $1+ per washer?

And you know that now every time I stop the bike, I check those valve covers...
Think I checked them a half dozen times on today's ride.
