from my understanding the main reason these hg blow is because they were not torqued enough from factory. ive also read that by retorqueing them to about 72-80 lb/in should prevent this. im not going so far as to say it wont ever blow a hg, but im sure it wont happen for a while as long as the hg is in good condition, put on correctly, and finally retorqued.
