Valve Lock nut will not lock.

The Valve lock nut will not tighten on the left exhaust Valve. It will get kind of snug but will not lock up. I did the other 3 valve with no problem but then this happened when i was about to tighten down the last valve

Have you checked that the thread isn't partially stripped?

Unscrewed the hole valve stem with the lock nut(hope that dose not mess anything up?) seems like the valve stem is stripped or the lock nut was put on cross threaded. If the nut goes to far down or up the threads it really binds and shaves off the threads.

Can i just take the valve stem and nut up to my local suzuki dealer and they order one? Any body know the part number for them or a website to order them from?

Yes, Indeed. You may want to call ahead to see if they have it in stock.
