I have used them lots of times with no problems. Apply a light film of oil to the threads as well as under the had of the bolt and washer to allow for even torque.

I try to use Felpro stuff whenever possible, but I will NEVER use their headbolts again.
As I was torquing a KA head to 60lbs one stretched like spaghetti about 1/4 of an inch. Good thing that it didn't break inside the block hole!

I have a set of KA Felpro head bolts I'll let go for cheap. Don't have the KA anymore so no use for them. PM me if interested.
