Does anybody know the thread size oh the head bolts as finding conflicting info

It's either m12 x 1.25 or m12 x 1.25 as arp studs are tight going in so want to clean threads

Based on that info I'd go with m12 x 1.25 ;)

one is the head bolt and one is the main stud bolt methinks, but both were 10mm diameter threads.

I managed to get a bolt and it is definitely m12 x 1.25

There was quiet abit of swarf down there. Guess the machine shop didnt do quite a good enough job
