My partner Chris had indicated that he read to use a spiral bead of silicone on the bolts to serve the same purpose, and dampen any resonance.
How do you know how big to make the bead, or does it matter?
Aha!.. Found it..
Page 54 of Tracy Crook's "Aviators Guide to Rotary Conversion"
Engine Assembly Procedure, Item 2
...Using Permatex "Ultra Grey" or equivalent, run a 1/16" spiral bead of silicon up the entire length of the bolt. Keep the spiral spread approximately 1 1/2 to 2 inches per loop....
