My question is I've just replaced my v1/2 heads for some v3/4 ones but the new heads didn't come with the rocker cover bolts so I used the ones from the v1/2,I seem to have a oil leak from both the rocker covers,I'm thinking there may be a difference in length of the bolts etc,anyone know???

Did you use new gaskets? And sealant?

Yep,thinking as it's both sides are leaking they may be a different length,I surpose adding some washers to the bolts should give it abit more pull up before the stepped part of the bolt bottoms out on the head
