Default Yella Terra Bolts??

It is obvious what they are for, but i just opened up my box of new yella terra rockers, and low and behold there are 16 allen head bolts with them. The instruction sheet says to re-use the stock bolts. I am sure that it really doesnt matter, just wanted to see what some of you have done. Thanks.

I had an issue with the stock bolts not fitting well in the rocker so I used the allens. In the end, because of the shimming I needed to get the wipe correct, I actually bought longer bolts to ensure full thread engagement of the bolts. You can see the allen heads in the photo. Make sure you set the wipe first, then check pushrod length.

Did you have to cut the Bolt down any so It would not protrude into the intake runner? Or they sell in a length that will fit just right? I over looked this when I set mine up.

I set mine up on the bench. When I shimmed, I found that the bolts were short on thread engagement so I measured and got ones that came just flush with the intake port when installed.

If your heads are CNCed and the intake bolt threads are no longer blind you need to use some thread sealant on those fasteners.

I would buy longer stronger bolts.... they are weak and soft metal. ace has allen head bolts like these that are chrome plated and stronger.
