Does anyone know the size of the head bolts? Im trying to locate a TAP to clean out the threads in the block before I reassemble it and I cant seem to find the correct one. I think its 11X1.5 can someone clarify? Thanks.

Yes, it is an 11mm thread, I don't remember the pitch. I know that ARP makes the right thread 'chaser', but it's like $50. I just ended up cutting slots in an old head bolt and using it to clean out the threads. You shouldn't really use a 'tap' as it could actually damage the threads from what I have read.

I just used a dremel cut-off disc. From what I have read, if you're not careful you could actually cut into the threads with a tap.
