Re: Mystery Nut--Anyone Identify?
 

Beg pardon. It's a 91 Honda Civic. Nasty, thanks for the
suggestion. My Chilton's does indeed show a bunch of exhaust
and intake manifold nuts that seem to fit the bill.
Majestic's online parts site confirms that the exhaust
manifold has nine self-locking nuts. It's also certainly
rusted enough that I would expect it to be either in a
weather path or on the exhaust system somewhere. I'll take
the shroud off tomorrow and confirm. Thank you!

Curly, good tip. I know it's a lousy photo.

RWM, it's some kind of self-locking nut and so is a little
unique looking. I thought someone might recognize it before,
ya know, I discover the hard way and my engine falls apart
or something on the highway later today.

It looks like a standard flanged nut with some sort of a PAL nut as
locking insurance.

Ha. We're all gearheads in this together. :-)

I'm afraid not. I am looking for a magnifying glass. Little
busy today.

Whaaaat? I resemble that remark. >:^Þ

It's an exhaust manifold nut. Looks like part of the stud is still in it
too, so that's broken.

Remove the front heat shield for the exhaust manifold and have a look at
all the studs.
