Got my SLOTTED cheesehead screws at local Fastenal store (www.fastenal.com). M6 sizes were $.09 and $.13 each.

And the way those damn things tend to freeze to the block and heads, I would pay extra to avoid allen heads....

Having slots inb the screws at least enabled me to use an impact driver to spin them out....

With allen heads I coulda really started cussing.....

Try a VW type 1 engine source.... CIP1?????

Another source for metric components is Metric and Multistandard Components (www.metricmcc.inc ). They really carry a lot of stuff. I use them quite often.
