Re: How to get 'silver head nut' look.
The major parts suppliers are providing a cadmium plated nut that keeps its good looks for a very long time. I have always used them, and reused them multiple times with no unwanted consequences. They have a washer like surface on one side, and no other washers are needed except when using aluminum heads. They are attractive in appearance, and personally I would not go any other way. The super shinny ones you see are dummy nut covers that look like acorn nuts. Too flashy for me, but, each to their own. I would never use stainless anything on an engine head.
