Hmmm... with my setup(s), I can't get use studs / nuts on the #1 ex lower
fastener and at least one more (maybe #3 lower). So I HAVE to use bolts.
This is TR6 with a header. I have used Moss, Monza and Falcon. They all
have the same interference issues.
But a allen head cap screw will work fine for this app. Just torque to
spec and then re-torque while the motor is still hot and things seem to
hold fine. I had 20k street miles and no leaks with one car. The race car
never seems to need any re-tightening either, but I don't sit at 6000 for
very long (autocrosser).
regards,
rml
