Rocker arm nuts

Had a rocker arm nut come loose. They came with my adjusting kit. I guess I'll replace them all. Can I use the nuts that have the nylon lock, or should I stick with regular lock nuts. Thanks

I noticed that when I put them on some of them didnt grip like a lock nut. The one that came loose once you get it started it turn easy, may be its the threads on the stud. But I'll rplace all nuts just to be safe.

Ny-lock's work fine on millions of GM products...until overheated. You can always go old-fashioned (and 100% reliable) by using 1/2 high jam nut on top of a quality standard flat faced nut.
