Asking for trouble on that one and I dont care what the Diesel POwer article says on the cummins
That is why I went with studs, fine threads on the top will increase the force a lot. And I have tested mine thoroughly.

Has anyone ever actually had a head gasket blow because of too much boost? Me and crash 86 used to get 20 lbs with stock bolts, no problems.
