I just did a Google search on "when to use lock washers" I was amazed at the diametrically opposed views on these things. All I wanted to know basically was when to use one and when to use one with a flat washer. There are people who say the best place to store them is in the trash and others that swear you absolutely need to use them. A lot of the folks I read about throw the old ones away when it comes time to rebuild something. So what's the deal? -- '61 PV544 - '65 PV544 - '64 Lincoln Continental Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

I prefer to change lock washers and lock nuts after each use. Since most of the wave washers are not available, mostly because they are standard sizes, I will replace a wave with a split lock. But if the lock washer is to go against aluminum, you really should use a flat washer to protect the aluminum. Common places for wave washers on a B18/B20 are the front and rear crankshaft seal housings, the distributor base housing, the water pump, the starter motor bolts, the bellhousing bolts and on late B18 and all B20 engines, the transmission to bellhousing brace. The front and rear crankshaft seal housings use 1/4" bolts and 6mm wave washers are a good substitute. The water pump uses 5/16" wave washers and 8mm wave washers are an excellent substitute. The bellhousing and starter bolts use 11/16" wave washers and I have not found a good substitute and therefore reuse the old ones are replace them with a split lock and flat washer. The transmission to bellhousing brace uses 9/16" wave washers and once again, no suitable replacement is available. There are some standard size wave washers, but they are very thin in both thickness and outer diameter and I do not like to use them. -- Eric Hi Performance Automotive Service (formerly OVO or Old Volvos Only) Torrance, CA 90502 Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.

I have always used them if I was replacing an assembly that had them. What I was looking for was anyone on this site who believes that one or both of them (washers) are unnecessary. Take a look at a couple of forums and what they have to say about their use. http://www.engineersedge.com/wwwboard/posts/9385.html http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-196676.html http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=119876&page=1 -- '61 PV544 - '65 PV544 - '64 Lincoln Continental Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
