It's possible to put a 12mm bolt head on an 11mm block. You
have to put a spacer in the center oil return hole in the block I
believe You CAN'T drill out the block for the stretch bolts! They
are enough prone to cracking if you have ANYTHING in the holes
during assembly. No way there's even close to enough metal to
tap out larger and longer.
