  Does anyone have a source for NOS cylinder head bolts on a 24 stud flathead? I purchased some off of Macs but they seem to have a little play in them compared to the original. Thanks (if I posted in the wrong place please forgive and direct to correct posting) Thanks again. Tim

  Sorry - meant to say cylinder studs (not bolts) wife's typing not mine.

  I am not 100% certain but believe Nacewicz has the correct studs.
The authentic studs had an interference fit designed in them to create a "natural" seal in the threaded holes of the engine block.
I have heard the common repops available at places like Macs are simply straight cut threads. Hardly a correct reproduction...
