A option if servicing top end,may also need to remove the first couple of treads on bolt,

Dave means instead of making a longer bolt, cutting a bit from the cylinder will have the same effect.

Ahhh. I thought he meant it made servicing the top end easier.   And couldn't think of how.  

I'm in the same page now.

Would be easy as pie to plunge cut that on the mill when you had the top end off.
