Just needing to know the length and size of the bolts that hold down the valve covers. Anyone know? Yes I did a search and came across some info, but wasnt exact on the size.

korey, find the proper pitch of the bolts and put studs on there... that way you can get them a little bit too long, and hold them on with nuts rather than bolts

You mean the cam covers?

they are m6 std pitch.

there are also two different lengths IIRC, can't remember what they were though. something like 40 and 60mm but not 100% sure.
