This high-temperature Flanged Copper Locking Nut is a critical component for securing the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head on a range of Nissan Patrol engines. On TD42 turbo models, these nuts are also used to mount the turbocharger directly to the exhaust manifold. Due to the extreme heat cycles and vibration experienced around the exhaust system, original nuts can stretch, fatigue, and seize over time. For any 4x4 owner performing manifold or turbo-related work, replacing these nuts is essential preventative maintenance to guarantee a secure, leak-free seal and prevent future failures.
Ignoring the replacement of these small but vital nuts can lead to significant problems. Old, fatigued nuts can loosen, causing noisy exhaust leaks that rob your engine of power and efficiency. Worse, they can seize onto the stud, often resulting in the stud snapping during removal or re-tensioning. This turns a straightforward maintenance job into a much more difficult and costly repair involving drilling and extracting broken studs from the cylinder head.
