I found a couple bolts that were short and barely slid in, then covered them in gasket maker stuck em in and let them set over night. I was good to go for a year. but I would not recommend it. get a plate like people say.

You need to obtain accessory bolt hole plugs. They are a threaded plug about 3/4" in length. Any Engine Machine Shop or Head Manufacturer will have them

the real way is the thermactor plugs... it's a "threaded insert" i used to have the part number

the ghetto way is to just cut the "y" pipe that wa son there... flip them over, use on the opposite head... get some rtv in the hole, then bolt them back on

no one can see it so no big deal really
