You'll need to remove the valve covers and the rocker arms in front of each bolt, at least i did.
I took an allen wrench (I forget which size) whichever is the right one for those bolts, and cut the elbow off to make it straight.
Then you can put the straight piece in a socket and use a ratchet on it, makes it alot faster and easier to guide those bolts in when they're stuck on the allen wrench.
I've heard of people doing this same thing but using the ball-headed allen wrenches with better results.
Before you snug up the runner-base bolts, start the runner plenum bolts, at least in the corners. That way you don't have alignment probs.
Personally, I never had a prblem with bolt alignment, but many others have with the runner-plenum bolts.
Feel free to email me if you need more help.
