Couldn't you just trim a 1/2 inch off the end of the bolt? Hacksaw FTW?

Why cut it? Why can't you just nut it with the bit sticking up? Is it in the way of the VC or something?

If you have the OEM Honda bolts and look at them you'll see one is shorter. It's just something in the design of the block I guess ARP overlooked. It shouldn't really matter though. I didn't even use washers I just nutted it with the bit sticking up. I don't have any problems that I know of but I guess I could have tiny leaks or some ----. I don't know I don't feel like taking the head off to look.
