question for people using aftermarket head bolts?

I guess you can look around for a stud head bolt but I never even bothered, the fuel rail isn't going anywhere as long as it is bolted into the lower intake, it isn't even noticeably loose now that it's all back together. I wouldn't worry about it.

So you just left the fuel rail mount point unattached at that location, and it seems fine? It gives support to the lower rail and I really dont want to leave it "hanging", then the only thing holding the lower rail is the connection to the top rail, and then you have the quick connect area where the seals are with a load on it. Not the best idea.

For the rest of you who dont know what Im talking about, the passenger side, lower, forward head bolt has a stud on top of it that the fuel rail mounts to. It is similar in design to the intake bolt/ stud combination that holds the coolant tranfer tube.
