[TR] anyone have experience using APR head bolts

I first went to ARP studs after a stock one snapped with enough force, 105ftlbs, to create at sizable dimple/bump in the middle of my bonnet.

Just for the complete review, I'm sure these are fine head bolts.  Just my opinion, though, the key to successful head installation is a good head gasket and, more importantly, making sure the figure 8 gaskets are seated correctly using pre-head installation compression via torquing down the sleeves to achieve the perfect (ISTR) 003 proud across all sides.  Ask me how I know!
