Could anyone tell me if the two bolts at the base of each push rod cover can be removed safely and be replaced with stainless ones,they seem to have a special shape to them and I'm worried about thier purpose.the engine is the 2009 xb12.as you can probably tell I'm not familiar with my way round this engine yet.
