I'm in the process of redoing the head and head gasket on my Eclipse. I have all the parts I need and got them through Modern Performance. I got the head bolts which where bolts for the 2.4L. I was under the understanding that the heads for the 2.4 and 2.0 is nearly the same and the head bolts I got were listed under the 1g Neon. Well the bolts I got are all the same where as the ones I took out were shorter in the 4 corners. So I don't have those shorter ones. Is that a big deal? I know there is talk about cutting a few threads off the corner bolts is this because of these bolts being longer than the short ones that came off the Eclipse from the factory? Any help and possibly direction on where to get head bolts if I have the wrong ones. Thanks in advance.
