    Hey everyone, I'm in the middle of doing a plenum pull timing belt and all that jazz,

    But I've gone and misplaced the spark plug guide bolts, does anyone here know what size they are? I know their 12mm but not sure what thread type and size, I looked online and haven't found anything, I'm just wondering if anyone knows what particular bolt I need.

    Thank you in advance.

    M8 x 1.25. I have a stash from a wreck if you really get into trouble, but you'll find them. Autopro or bursons will sell packs of them. Different socket size, but correct thread.

    Length I think they're like 15mm or something....been a while sorry.

    Did you mean the bolts that go through the plastic cover that sits between the valve covers. If so then yes 50mm.

    Are you talking about the Coil-pack mounting bolts?? If so, they are 15-20mm(try swapping over to socket-headed S/S items, much easier to fit & remove).:zlove::zlove:
