[Spridgets] Spring washers don't work !

[Hal Faulkner]

If you check out the ARP web site you will see that they claim the use of a
high pressure lubricant will reduce friction thereby putting more of your
torque into bolt preload and making that preload more consistent.  They
don't recommend the use of lock tabs or lock washers on their fasteners.
