yea, I used them when my first time rebuilding my engine. Never had any problems with them. If your doing a stock rebuild I would use them with no hesitation. Or your doing any kind of boost or power adder id throw a set of ARP's in their and call it a day. just my $.02

Cool, Thanks I had a stuck exhaust valve on # 7 from a donor motor ['01 WS6 LS1/Auto]we setup in a customers '71 Torino ,
I have not used these before & yes it is just a stock setup for his sons first car ......YE Pretty cool first car huh !
There was a lil piece of metal on the piston you could see it bounced around in there a lil & was stuck in the #7 exhaust valve at one time.My machinist says he see's alot of this from the spark plug strap off the tip of the plugs .Wierd but after he told me it look's like that could be ,size is real close .

I haven't used them, but if they have the same sealant on the threads as the stock gm head bolts I'd say they are cool, they are more than likely from the same manufacturer as gm
