mine (2003) Savage are 10mm (wrench size) hex with washer as part of the bolt head as you described.  I don't have the chromed plastic covers, so I just went out and looked at them.

No.  I assume he meant the valve covers; they are as I described and sort of black.

Yep!! Nick that's them, valve cover holder downers, I was wondering if there was a special name for them(apart from swears) as they have the washer incorporated(phew, that's a big one) In them. Mine are getting a bit round on the hex as they've been on and off so often, so I am looking to buy new ones but I would need to know the right mechanical(another big one) name for them,,,cheers

Ahhh!,...the confusion comes from us having a dress up cover,... then valve covers,... then a cam cover....


I believe they are called "Indented Hex Washer" bolts...

Indented... for the dip on top
Hex... for the head shape
Washer... for the washer bottom...

Here's a link...
