84 Jetta Turbo Diesel.  I'm wondering if anyone has used or know of any
problems that may come up from using Lock Tight on the Exhaust Manifold
Studs?   I replaced the Studs and Nuts and Washers twice now and both times
they rattle loose, takes about a year each time.
 
I use new locking Nuts each time so I think the problem is the Studs backing
out of the Head.  First time I just removed the Turbo and Manifolds to fix,
second time it was easier to just pull the engine and Transmission to,
either way it's a lot of work.
