What size is our hex head bolt?

[1993MTXSHO]

I did a search and came up with nothing and have no way to get to one of them as of now to measure it does anyone know what size it is off hand?

that actually mount the head to the block? I would hope you dont use anything other than actual head bolts.. They stretch and are very specific use kinda thing. ANyway... i'll go check the garage here.. brb..

no I just need to go buy a wrench with the hex head to use in a wratchet so I can torque them down to spec. I don't have anything near that size tool at my house.

If i remember right, they are something like 5/8...? Dont quote me though.

10MM HEX

what i did was take a 10m hex.... and cut it down to size.. so it will fit in a 3/8 socket wrench 10mm... it works perfect... even with an extension

Fred is known to be a terrible liar, so you might want to take a head bolt to the store with you to double-check.

sweet I hope its not 10

i got extra head bolts.
yeah it works best if you cut a allen key make it long tho so it has room to clean the cams without the socket coming in contact with the cams. which is what i did then i used the tq wrench to get it in spec.

it is mm so dont try anything standard or it will mess the head bolts up.

 

[Eric VerValin]

well knowing how my luck is, he's got the only motor with the 9 mm.. and I need to save to buy him a new one. But good idea about the cams.. never thought of that...

With how standard the parts in are cars throughout the years are I wouldn't be making that kind of promise

9.5MM?!!
