Default Quick Valve Cover Bolt Q

OK, one last quick question, I have a set of 87-93 Valve covers, but bought bolts for 94/95, now here's the problem, there isn't quite enough bolt between the valve cover and the gasket to grab inside the head, the 87-93 style valve covers seem to have a slightly thicker base. So, here's my Q, does anybody know for 100% sure if I bought a set of 87-93 bolts will they work? What I mean is does anybody know if these bolts are longer than 94/95 bolts?

They should work. You could also go to a hardware store and buy some stainless bolts for it too. They are 1/4'' by 1.5'' I think.
