Try it and if it doesn't leak it should be fine. I have ran it with regular bolts on this car and my previous one with no noticable ill effects. Granted im no engineer and can only guess at the true use of spring bolts (to keep pressure on the donut gasket or due to flange design??) so I could be dead wrong but I dont think your car will blow up either wau
