There must be much more vibration in a cars engine than an AR.

Lot more heat in a BC under hard use I suppose.

But if you drive a modern-ish automobile, you are trusting your life and those of your loved one's to lock-tite every time, doubly so if you are on two wheels.
I don't know how hot a BC get's, or when assorted types of lock-tite craps out, but I know it's significantly over 300 degrees
in practice.
