I have had the Suregrip studs actually in my hands. They are nice pieces. They are a good idea as you install the stud into the block, then install the heads, THEN torque the nuts on the stud. This is a much better scenario than a bolt where the threads are experiencing both a torsional stress and longitudinal stress at the same time, all the while the bolts threads are engaging in soft aluminum metal.
