Hi all,
Castellated nuts on big ends or main caps we allways used Lock wire and a lot small end bolts had a hole in the head which was wired around the rod.
No Tabs or spring washers and the only washers used hardened flat ones
nylocks at the time mainly used on Aircraft but not on the Engine.
and Locktite not available at the time
Lockwire is still readily available
Cheers Colin
