Rocker Arm Bolt Protrusion.

This is a picture of the rocker arm bolt protruding into the intake runner. Grind it, or leave it. Let me hear your opinions please. I am more inclined to leave it, but if other experience shows otherwise I’ll grind.

Yes, I will seal it up with some RTV.

Thanks for your time.

I just cut the little tip off the bolts that went into the intake side. Sealed them with ARP thread sealer.

Have left them alone, but I would like to get either shorter bolts, or cut them, then seal it. Just to see if it would make any difference I guess.

Only thing with grinding it will be if the hole left behind will cause more airflow turbulence than the bolt sticking out. I just sealed mine.

I marked and cut the bolts off I wouldn't know if it make a difference or not. I used loctite after that.
