volcrano Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 hey guys,i put a chariot cool head on my stocker,but have a lil liquid around a few studs on the head.now im using stock nuts with some harbor freight copper washers,new of course,but im wondering if u absolutely have to use the acorns that they would give u with the kit.i think if i had the acorns it wouldnt leak around the threads and if it did it wouldnt go anywhere because it would be sealed.is this right?ive been told i can use the stock nuts,but i only warmed it up and a few are having a lil liquid starting to show.i also didnt use the o rings that go around studs,but if i remember correctly u dont with the chariot head.its not leaking at the copper washers,they seem seales to the head,just around a few threads.any help would be awesome.

Jereme6655 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 i can't remember which head it is for....but i do know that some members wind up having to use a little bit of sealant before they run the nuts on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert.b.west Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I have a chariot head and lost one of the acorn nuts so when I rebuilt it and reinstalled the head I used the a stock nut. The only one that leaked was that one. I replaced it with an acorn and it stopped leaking. A little sealant on the threads would do the trick also if you dont want to use the acorns.
