From the Rivera -Primo instructions
oh wow I drilled the threads in the inner primary should've
drill them in the starter housing wow you mean to tell me
I'm gonna have to take the inner off rethread and drill the
starter housing wow gonna be sick let me think about this
but you right this is a cal product that primo bought out it's
heavy duty because I used the m6 chain tensioner and the original
one cracked like an egg this is a thicker and durable one think it's 3 pounds heavier

Good thread. I avoid nylock nuts on engine and drivetrain parts. Dry threads are evil so I use Loctite to exclude moisture. Loctite doesn't seize fasteners, corrosion does. Split lock washers are trash which is why they aren't used in aviation. All-steel lock nuts are preferred for aircraft use too.

Of course nuts are stronger than threads in aluminum castings so it's an upgrade.
