      *a Measurement Point

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the diameter of the threads at the measurement point.

      Standard diameter
      10.85 to 11.00 mm (0.427 to 0.433 in.)
      Minimum diameter
      10.6 mm (0.417 in.)
      Measurement point (distance from the seat)
      106 mm (4.17 in.)

      Tech Tips


      • If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the cylinder head bolt. Failure to do so may lead to engine damage.

      • If there is any thread deformation, replace the cylinder head bolt with a new one.
