Vortech v3 head unit bolt question

[isedawishy]

I changed the head unit oil and went a little over zealous with the tightening.

Ended up snapping the head off the left side flat top bolt. I'll drill out the shaft and extract it, but my question is... Is this flat top bolt the same as the shipping bolt?

From left to right on the HU. Flat top, rounded vent and rounded dip stick.

Do not use the bolt that was on the head unit that was shipped. That does not have the weep hole for venting.

Right... when I installed the kit I removed the flat top bolt from the middle and replaced with the rounded vent bolt.

So when shipped it was from left to right. Flat, flat, rounded dip stick.

I was able to remove the shaft by hand and compared the flat bolt to the shipping bolt and they are identical. On your head unit the bolt on the left is flat, correct?
