i was surprised at how well they actuallydo work.i used them in the timing cover on my truck that the high pressure oil pump bolts to.its still holding and that pump puts out 3,000 psi of oil pressure at full throttle.:eek2:

they hold very well, but do occasionally break. i have absolutely no problem using them, but have had them break on me even though i had plenty of threads in the coil. they were older coils however (not rusted) just that they had been there for quite some time

they have been holding the head on my 426 for over a year now with no problems. they are also working well on my buddies 460ex with no trouble. they work great.
