ProComp/Speedmaster aluminum heads

Yea, not sure what I've bought with Speedmaster heads but honestly they seem alright so far... I did go about 10lbs over what their torque said and using their stud kit as well....the engine-airlocked first few mins it ran got up in Temp but then It cooled off and seems fine even few months later... no complaints about the heads yet....
Did you have the thermostat in it when it air locked?
