Hi Ollie,
If it was my only way to get home I'd run it, not if I had a choice. Especially not with any kind of alloy head as you are asking for it to warp.
It troubles me a little that you managed to shear a new stud putting it into the block... I normally just nip them up. They ought to be comfortably able to cope with 20lbft. Was it perhaps a bit too much enthusiasm?
