i have a 1999 2.5 that I'm replacing the head gaskets on and I've ran into an issue. I'm not sure if i have enough shoulder bolts to hold the valve covers on. does every bolt hole get shoulder bolts or does some of the holes get regular bolts? i feel like every hole should get shoulder bolts with the exception of the bolt hole beside the spark plug holes. that being said i don't have enough shoulder bolts for both sides. i kept the heads/valvecover parts separate from the rest of the parts from the engine and didn't pay enough attention as to where particular bolts came from. I have had other subaru's in the past but none I've pulled apart to this degree. just replaced timing belts/waterpumps and brakes on previous vehicles. i dont feel I'm in over my head just running into something new here. id appreciate any help. thanks
