Interesting, this answers one of my long standing unanswered question that of: When doing valves will a shop/can a shop check for broken head studs.

I was wondering if a shop with good intentions but bad luck would check head studs by torqueing them to I believe 26 lbs and accidently snap a few. I suppose not all shops would tell you they messed up, and would dab a little lock-tight on them and give it back to you. Would not take long for the problem to show up, right?

So far, so good with mine, but I can't help feeling the Dilivar's are a time bomb waiting to go off.
