I use grade 8 studs in my aluminum heads- actually, they're 1-1/2" long allen 
setscrews with anti-sieze and stainless nuts on them. You don't want to be 
tightening and loosening bolts on aluminum threads very much, as the threads go 
away quickly. The plain nuts & flat washers have given me no trouble loosening 
up so far... FWIW- J DeRyke
