Engine coming together but small problem...
Engine coming together but small problem... I ran into a small problem... The damn sprocket bolt washers are in the way and I can't get the optispark in... 
Any one sell an aftermarket bolt set, or should I just take off the washers?
Now my problem.... !!!

Don't use those bolts. Use an ARP cam bolt designed for that purpose. Cam bolts have a smaller hex head that clears the optispark cloverleaf. That looks like run of the mill grade 8 hardware.

Well **** put the bolts on and opti does not sit flush. It stops about an 1/8 of an inch before sitting flush with block. It will sit flush if I put some muscle on it but I feel this should not forced on in any way... Well it hurt if I take a little of the top of the ARP bolts?

Well it turned out to be the cam bolts... What I did is stick something in the cavity where the dowel pin goes and measured how long it was and then compared it to the dowel pin. I had about 1/8" before dowel would bottom out... So I took off the bolts one by one and ground them down some more... After that the base of the opti sits nice and flush. I appreciate your help guys. Been so long I forgot how this thing goes back together....
