Is This Common On SLP Runners?? (PICS)

I just got my set of SLP Runners in today and i started to fidget with it and i noticed that each runner has a bolt hole that has threads through it at a good 30 degree angle.

Is this correct or is it a machining error?

I haven't actually looked at my stock runner bolts to see if there's two with such an angle on them yet..... I'm hoping i don't have to send anything back or take a drill to something...

There is no way that the bolts that came with them will fit in these spots... they are way too long.... is this common?

Thanks in advance

Yes that is correct. The bolts in question screw in from the intake manifold side. The others screw in from the valve cover side.

Awesome.... So there's no need to use shorter bolts with these?
