My only concern with using silk thread is deterioration. The 574 will harden but the thread will not. The thread could affect the clamping force of the bolts reducing predetermined force required to prevent case shuffle. As the aluminum expands and contracts with heat, the thread can compress. If this compression allows for excess movement, the 574 can crack. All speculation but that's my guess.
I am not an engineer so take it for what it's worth $.02.
