Could you get by with them...maybe. They might work fine for you and be one of those ebay finds. Should you risk your engine for that small of a price difference, personally I wouldnt. Id email the seller and get info on them like what theyre made of, strength of the materials, etc before you bought them.

I found some more info on these studs. They are made by a company called Procomp. Never heard of anyone using them before. Below is the company website.

Also below is a link to the website of a company selling these studs on ebay.

Buy at your own risk I suppose! Just giving you guys a little more info!

For the record, I used arp torque specs, and engine oil at 25,50 and 80 ft lbs and this happened. Second one I took to 80. Took 2 hours to get out of the block using the old stud and a screwdriver.
