There is no reason you can not as they are not stress bolts as on some vehicle engines ... The secret is applying the correct amount of anti-size compound on the correct places on the INTERNAL THREAD SCREWS(stud caps) ... "AND" torque'ing them correctly !!! |

No problem whatsoever... My race sporty had the heads of maybe dozens of times with no issue with the bolts/nuts. Studs on the other hand can be replaced while it's apart if you're going larger bore and higher compression. |
