This is correct, but be a shade careful when you do
this. Cranking the plugs down too deep into those
holes can crack or otherwise damage the valve seat.
None of my local hardware stores had short enough
bolts, so I had to get longer ones and cut them down.
But just make sure they are not too long, and wrap the
threads in some type of plumbers tape. That will keep
them 100% air tight.
