RE: What's the name of that part?

Thanks Rick,

I did not know that.**Very interesting.
I have used heat on auto exhaust manifolds and always heated the nut.

You would think that you would want the casing to expand and the bolt to stay neutral. I had not considered the heat sink. Enlightening
*Does make sense.
I also have used the oven and freezer to press on bearings. Shaft in the freez bearing in the oven at 400 deg. That works perfect.
