I was surfing the Just Vee Dubs website (http://www.garysvw.com/air-cooled-vanagon-engine.htm) and came across something interesting. They only use nylon cylinder head nuts on their rebuilt engines. They claim that this eliminates the need to re-torque the head. Anybody else heard of this, and if so where can they be purchased?
