No, I was thinking of the the nuts on the breather cover, throttle console, etc. I forgot about the chain cover locknuts; I'll look them up tonight. The higher temperature rated insert type locknuts typically have a black, blue or brown colored insert. If the insert is white it is likely not rated for higher temperatures. Then there are some locknuts like the exhaust and the intake nuts which are of the all-metal prevailing torque (distorted thread geometry) type. Jim
