Question about ported heads and the bolt hole through the intake runner? Hey guys i'm just trying to figure out what most people do with the rocker bolt. On the intake port the hole becomes exposed , and when u bolt up the rocker the bolt end sticks out into the runner. Do most of u guys cut the rocker bolt shorter or du leave it. I know the bolt end is radiused but it still can ubstruct flow. Thanks!

No the car is not burning oil or anything like that. I used thread sealer on the bolts. It's just when i had the heads on the bench I screwed in a bolt and saw that it protrudes into the runner. So i just wondered if most of u guys just leave it or cut the bolt short.
