I ordered new cylinder bolts last week. I was at work at the time, and I hadn't counted the bolts I'd removed from my head prior to ordering (doh) but I figured if I purchased number specified I'd be okay.

Turns out, either I'm 4 bolts short or I'm going crazy.

Fastlane shows:
4 x 115mm
4 x 120mm
6 x 145mm
(I checked a couple of other places online, each showed the same #'s).

But I have 18 head bolts - 8 x 120mm! (Alas, Haynes and Chiltons both show 18 bolts in the tightening pattern...) Am I missing something??

That is correct Matt. It does take 18 of the big ones and then the 4 small ones up in front. I just checked Arizona parts and they say 14 and I think they are wrong.
