Eddy rpm heads with arp studs question

I called edelbrock and they said the bolt that is supplied with the heads is a skinnier bolt then the rest of the head fastener bolts/studs should be, so oil can flow around it freely. If people are running arp head studs without a skinnier stud for the oiling to the rockers location, I will give it a shot and see what happens when I prime the motor.

If that’s how wide the pattern really is, I’d fix it. Centering the swipe at the cost of width is wrong. The fix is simple. Don’t skimp. You need to correct that geometry.
