Pretty sure that nylocks loose a lot of their locking ability at the temperature an engine runs at. There are all metal lock nuts that are rated for use at higher temperature.
The temperature is what I was thinking on, I'll source some good all metal ones.

All this talk and no mention of Marsden nuts.
They are used by many OEM's since the 50's.

If your engine oil gets hot enough to melt high temp nylon you have other problems you need to solve.
