I am replacing one broken bolt and decided to just replace all the bolts while I am have the covers off. Who sells m8 x 1.25 bolts for less than the $5 that the dealer wants?

sears has some hex headed bolts that are 14grade strength, but these bolts are threaded all the way up to the bolt head, unlike the stock(12grade strength) bolts which are threaded up to the point where the bolt meets the base of the rocker arm.

Because of the strength of the bolt and the built in washer on the head, I think I would stick with the GM bolt. And any dealer that sells parts for MORE than the GM List Price should be told to go F**k themselves. Most decent parts men will sell wholesale if you ask them and do a reasonable amount of business with them.

I got a brand new set I'll sell you for $30. Switched rockers and don't need these anymore. Let me know.

rocker arm bolts are NOT torque-to-yield; right?

Correct. They are NOT TTY (torque-to-yield) bolts thus you can re-use them
