Yes ... no problem.. but the surface need to be right
(smooth) so they can move a bit

yes the mls will work.... on that combo if the decks are done right, also even though they don't say to do a retorque I always did.
I myself went back to copper, o rings and receiver grooves a few years ago on my BB
