   remember, the block has to be tapped out, if you tap them out to a M10 bolt size, they will fit, but personally - id hacksaw them down a little say 6 splines.
   
   Alternatively i would have chosen hex-head m10 bolts as they are easier to get into the engine bay with the spanner and you can put more strength on them But thats personal pref.
   
   Edit; actually they look quite small, so they might be fine without hacksawing some off

   i think they'll be spot on!! No real need to cut them down I dont think
   
   Go with some threadlock and they should be fine !
