I-5 Heads--pic/bolts

[Ameer Antar]

So here's a pic of the head: http://www.nicabm.com/i-5_head.jpg

Is that what you mean by teardrop shaped passageway? Or is it somewhere else
on the head? Also if anyone knows the lengths of the bolts for this head
(034 103 373). It's either 96 or 98mm. Thanks again.
