sure.
apparently these engines tend to leak from the case bolts.
it is recommended in the Bentley book, the shop manual and the LN bearing installation guide, to replace the bolts with encapsulated ones.
these are the same bolts that also come with the LN IMSB kit for the IMS cover (only longer).
the old bolts are regular hex head, the new ones are torx with sealing material on the thread.
