Did you not read what he wrote? Here it is again:

One word of caution, the Stock Nuts from the Windage Tray are the special type much like an exhaust manifold nut, the theaded section is not completely round, its somewhat Oval shaped, The reason behind this is that these nuts do not back off and vibrate loose like conventional nuts that are completely round, This is why you might find on a set of exhaust manifolds from newer cars that have nuts, the nuts are impossible to remove or install by hand. this prevents them from just threading off on their own from vibration/heat. Make sure you use the Stock windage tray nuts or if you dont use some good Loc-Tite on the nuts to keep them in place.
That nut is not very special. It is a prevailing torque nut or Stover nut. A NyLock nut or LocTite could be used in its place.
