Default Bolts in breather holes?

Why Do I keep seeing people putting bolts into their breather holes in the heads when they replace origanal air cleaner like this example on you-tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvsuN...eature=related

Those are usually breather bolts that are hollow and replace the tubing. The ones in the video just look like chrome hex bolts, but it's hard to tell.

Nah, those are breather bolts.....alot of the breather/backing plates have a setup like that. Like was said theyre hollowed out and breath into passage ways machined into the plate that dump it back into throttle body

Bolts that came with my wimmer setup (yet to be re installed) were hollow like breather bolts but with a hex head.
