Rocker Bolts
There is a correct bolt but any grade 8 bolt from the hardware store that is the same length as the old ones will work. It the thick washers that are important. Make sure the new ones aren't any longer so they don't bottom out. The stock ones come close as it is.

One of the rocker shaft bolts (one per head) is slightly longer than the others and is necked down between the bolt head and the threaded section. This bolt goes in the rocker shaft pedestal with the oil gallery and is designed to allow for rocker shaft oiling. The rest are regular bolts.

Arrugh! Always #%$@@& one more thing! Tighten the bolts a turn or two at a time in sequence, so you don't bend the rocker shaft. During disassembly loosen the middle ones first then the end ones and again a couple of turns at a time.
