Lifter Valley Cam Cover/Shield
I can't find the two 1/4-20 bolts that secure this cam cover inside the lifter valley. They measure about .500" deep from the surface of the cover to the cam bearing below. How long of bolts should I buy? Should I put a thread locker on them and what's the recommended torque?

Would this bolt work? Dick Miller site has something else mentioning not to use the "bath tub" cover but his instead.

Stick something in the bold hole to measure the distance, then get the appropriate length bolts (or cut longer bolts to length).
I did this years ago when I attempted to install a Mondello valley tray. Then I found it would not fit under the Performer 350 intake (after Lynn had assured me on the phone that it would fit) so I don't have anything in the valley now.

I've probably got a couple of those small bolts on a core engine. I don't know where your located and if you want to put your project on hold for a few days. But if you want to go with factory bolts send me a PM or email. If you'd rather I can take some pictures but don't know how accurate my measurements would be on something that short. John

Yeah, that Mondo piece was a bit overkill anyway. I ended up not using any valley tray and it's been over 15 years with no issues. I pulled the Performer 350 some years back and installed a Performer RPM and the underside of the 350 didn't have any cooked oil on it, so I don't really know if the tray does anything at all.
