Post by hendy »

Anyone know exact size for timing tensioner pulley bolt? I know its a 10mm with 1.25 pitch. Part broke off in block so I need to know length

Did you end up finding this information out? I'm guessing you did since it sounds like you got the car running from your other thread.

I used a 10x50mm but a 10x60 would be the best option, just wasn't able to extract what broke off. It's a 1.25 thread pitch though

Yep, I went through similar although I didn't break a bolt off, instead I buggered up the threads.

At first like an idiot I didn't notice that the bracket part which bolts the tensioner pulley, is a separate piece that is bolted to the engine block. So I spent $55+ on an M10x1.25 heli-coil kit... then after that heli-coil didn't work out so well, I ended up just replacing the bracket piece.

And I'm still going to need another bracket,

and I'll end up trying to sell the heli-coil kit also.
