Anyone know the manifold bolt thread pitch off hand? One of the threads in the lower intake is getting stripped out, Im gonna need to helicoil it.
 
M8-1.25 I think, but you'd best pull one and gauge it before investing in e helicoil kit.
 
It looks like the engineers originally designed it for m8 based on the design, but the bean counters probably got their way. M6 bolts cost a lot less than M8.
