Don't look right to me.
See http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topi ... 0&t=511084
Lots of engine pic's there.

There are a lot of companies doing replacement stainless bolts on ebay, may be the easiest way, will also look better.

What looks wrong about it ???


Bolt is either a 3/8" UNC, or 5/16" UNC....I have a feeling its 3/8 though
