There are 10 M6 cap head bolts on each cam cover. Two on each side are slightly longer. Now I know on the odd side the two that are longer go on the throttle cable bracket, but what are the other two long ones for?

The longer ones are the forward most pair next to the M8 pair that go at the very front.
I'm pretty sure on mine (98 4.2) both OS and NS have the longer pair next to the M8s and the NS also has the two longer ones for the throttle bracket.

Thanks Mike, actually figured it out today. I had the two longer ones for the throttle bracket, but the four long ones at the front confused me. I thought they were longer for a reason (like there was another bracket, etc), realised they were just longer for the sake of it when I tightened them up!
