yes you can use the stock bolts with the 3/8" ice-olator....In fact I used them myself when I was just running one gasket and then gasket maker on the other side.

But the recommendation from RX at the time was when using two gaskets, that getting longer bolts for the added depth was a good thing...so that's what I ended up doing. Like mentioned above...don't tighten over 18 ft lbs...especially when your only running half the depth on the bolts.

I'm looking forward to seeing your build! Keep us informed.
