Note 'T' bolt for center of early A12 engine. This is a low-torque bolt. The center bolt is thinner to allow oil to flow around it up to the rocker shaft.

'12' bolts

Better to use the GX '13' center bolt, which is high-tensile chromoly V steel

"13" bolts were first used on the twin-carb A12GX Engine, as opposed to single-carb engine bolts. "13" bolts can be used with any early engine (they are simply stronger than the earliest bolts).

Note that A12/A12A/A13/A14/A15 all may use the '13' bolts, but the center bolt differs between early engines and late engines.

Center bolt 11057-H5000 and 11057-H5700 are interchangeable
