if they leaked quick I would assume that the installer didnt follow directions or did something wrong at time of install.
other then warping a head or damaging the head they should last a long time.
besides studs are no guarantee of staying in place as well.
when you go to take off leaking head gaskets and find the head bolts tight then its a fair bet the issue is bad gaskets and not head bolts.
