I replace nylocs when the wear out and they do. Exhaust pipe mounts youd get 2 or 3 reuses out of them but they would turn on with little resistance after that. Heat, vibration, oil the usual suspects.
A friend (ex reconditioner) relayed his tutors example of a car block on a jig. Piston with no rings drops through bore. Decent spanner on strategic point, minor pressure = piston gets stuck. Wasn't a fan of stressed engine frames.
Of course as Greg points out, they have thought about load paths to isolate issues. Not to say it is always appropriate. Ducati poor old Pantah cases got increasingly tortured as they grew into well beyond their original remit.
I've been told. Dreaming`s free.
Think I'll go, back to sleep.
