Pic below....Most people would probably say not to do this, but I actually used the two valve cover bolts or studs (whatever you want to call them). I put a link of chain over them, then a large nut just to take up some of the free space (it wasn't threaded on, just there like a fat washer), and I just used the valve cover nuts to hand tighten it all down. I would have used a plain old nut, but I didn't have the right size or thread. It worked fine without bending the bolts or studs, at least as far as I can tell. I wasn't really worried about damage because I have another b16 to use.
I think it was tscarola who I read had also used the valve cover bolts to anchor to and it worked for him too.
Hope this helps.
