Going over grade 8 the next weak link is the block. If you torque the studs to stretch
correctly you will start pulling up the block and cause sealing problems.
They were designed for grade 5 at 50-55lbs. you can get away with grade 8 at
60-65lbs. but still take a chance on pulling up the deck.
I know some have done it and gotten away with it but it won't work for everyone.
