CYLINDER HEAD STUD THREAD SIZE

Post by Striped shirt »

Hello everyone.

Can someone tell me the thread size for the cylinder head studs, please.
It's the thread that the head nut goes onto.
I need to give some threads a clean but can't find out the thread size.
I'm sure someone will know instantly!

Many thanks.....
