The allen bolt he's talking abut is under the valve cover, on the actual head.

I've wondered the same my self, even looked in the service manual and it doesn't say anything about it.

Doesn't it bolt your head to the motor?

I dont know what its for either. Maybe its not even a bolt and just there for looks?!? Or maybe its a figment of our imagination. Non the less not to be rude but those guesses are better than saying its for taking your valve cover off figuring the valve cover is already off.
