Went with the SS because my local bolt supplier only had the 6x25 bolt in SS and only 6x20 in unpainted steel. I could go ahead and order that bolt but I'm not sure if need to.

It's bolt 130, I don't think it's a very important bolt, it's actually kind of strange that it's there at all when the head and piston body are attached by the inner 7 bolts already as it only goes through the head gasket.

I don't understand what you're saying Do you mean the silver brackets/ covers that go over the cams? The issue I'm having with the cams right now is that when I line up the EX and IN lines with the top of the engine case I'm the EX camp is slightly raised because of the lobes touching the valves.
