John N.---I use these two longer bolts so they stick up higher when next
to the rocker pedestals. It's easier to get the socket on the nut on
these two places, due to interference from the pedestal nuts. An
alternate place could be near the heater valve nipple.
Actually, I'd prefer that ALL of the studs be the longer length, so I
wouldn't have to use a jam nut when double-nutting for removing and
replacing the studs.
Over time, I lost the original places for these two longer studs, as
they were located at the factory.

head bolts
Anyone know where the slightly longer head bolts fit? I marked them
on disassembly as going on the two holes to the rear and on the oil
filter side (bolts K and G in Bentley, p122), but I can't figure out why
they would need to be longer there in particular. Nowhere else makes
much sense either...
Any help appreciated.
