Just like the reason studs are better than bolts. Any time you use the threads to screw into and put a lot of pressure on to pull something on you risk the chance of damaging the threads. Yes sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It's worked fine for me once and the second time it messed the threads up so that was the last time I've done that. If you read much on ls1tech you will see were several people have damaged the threads inside the crank from using a longer bolt.
