Cold start injector bolts (reamed)

[fahrvergnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

IMO, the only bolt you can safely use is an allen head.  IIRC, for the size
of the head, allens can take more torque w/o breaking.  I am not the
lecturing type, but one thing you can do to help eliminate the problem of
stripping those is to lightly hammer it into place.  This is -crucial- when
doing CVS regardless of what type of head it is...
