I didnt mean to come across like that and i should have read the last post by Adam.....
You must have been lucky and tbh there are a lot of idiots out there who dont pay attention to the little details like cleaning threads removing any oil in the holes checking even std head bolts dont bottom out afer a head has been skimmed to death.
They just nail it together......
Mine also runs 2.2bar of boost on std head bolts with no issues on a 205 block but again its all down to who built it and do they have an accurate torque wrench.
