Question Replacing flywheel bolts - bolt head taller

Has anyone replaced the bolts that are around the gear ring on the flywheel with taller bolt heads? I looked at the original cheesehead bolts and the new internal hex bolts that I bought to replace them are slightly taller. I am wondering if there are any clearancing issues that I have not foreseen.

Note: This is the last issue before I put my motor back in my car.

Cool

Did the same when I replaced the clutch in the car. No problems. Just make sure you replace all of them.

I need to do this also and I was wondering where to buy the bolts. Dealer or industrial supply house?

Thanks,

I picked up all of mine at a local fastener supplier.
