funny enough, it probably helps contribute to the lightness of the N52. All those bolts add up - probably a few lbs saved just using the lighter bolts.
I did actually mean the head bolts (4 pieces) vs the VC bolts -- maybe I gotta check my spares again. I know the oil pan bolt set was super light too; but I could of sworn I was questioning the rigidity of a few significant bolts.
