I find that the manifold screws have a definite tendency to loosen off, especially if the bike is used enthusiastically. Since they are Allen bolts, the little devils will be damn hard, which makes trying to drill a small hole rather difficult....
Locktite doesnt work well since the heat from the head breaks it down.
Other than frequent check tightening, are they any other ways of solving this?
At Spa this year, one bolt came all the way out, resulting in a very lean mix (and piston damage, but more on that later).
