I know that some definitely thread into those posts that you can see in the thread I linked to and that they are aluminum. Now I'm 2nd guessing if they all do.

Sorry to harass you about the torque wrench :-).

I may be mistaken, but I'm not sure if the seats in DOHC carbs come out. Seestheday, I believe it was two of the outer ones. Strangely enough, I was using a torque wrench and the breaking/stripping occurred when I was within the recommended torque range. Go figure. Don't the valve cover bolts tighten into the cam bearing brackets, which are also steel?
