12.9 Allen head bolts

[lengelhardt]

I've been looking in the forums to see if anybody uses these. My buddy drives a 12 valve and they use them all the time and can hold 700 horsepower but don't know if they will work on a 7.3. Has anybody used them?

They are still bolts, not studs and can you imagine the Allen head filling with oil and grease and road grime and then trying to get them off down the road? Not to mention I wouldn't trust an Allen head fastener with that much torque to get it tight.

I was just wondering if it would work and be reliable.

I have used em for exhaust manifold bolts but thats it. Those have worked fine and an 8mm allen wrench socket will take alot of torque.
