I would have to measure one but, that wont be tonight as I am playing trains, cranes and rotten landrovers this pm!

M6 rings a bell.

I have not had a stud snap on a V6 yet.....and I have done a few and removed many!

I have M8 in my head - I saw an M8 bolt in wilko today (while getting white spirit ::) ) and it looked about the same thickness...


Will see if I can find an old one in my tool box tonight. Now you mention it, I have 2 3.0 heads knocking about - just wonder if any of them has a stud in... :y

If you have heads can't you measure the hole?
