From what I understand the factory used studs, but I just used bolts. They were 6mm but I don't remember the tread pitch.

When I look at the pics, they look like the same size studs that is being used for the fuel rail to intake manifold. Which is 8 bucks a piece . So 100 bucks for coilpaks studs? Lol

I really miss doing that, it was only 6 blocks away and open 24/7. But a large greedy corporation bought the place just for the job contracts and closed the factory.
