Sure. A metric bolt is a metric boltOriginally Posted by Fluxn83
It has a shoulder for the sealing washer which is all you need. I run a 16psi radiator cap, no issues.
I do have the removable pulley water pump, so it may be a 12mm on some versions and not 14mm?
This thread on the Eurotech forum indicates it's an M14-1.25, same as the Dorman P/N

No idea about the sizes across pumps, but I think my pump has a 12mm, not 100% sure. Best bet is to buy both 14 and 12 from belmetric.Sure. A metric bolt is a metric bolt

The Stock spark plug will fit in the hole, cut it to the right seize and you are save.

Nice! If you need a new one, the great thing about the Belmetric offering is the internal hex fitting. I replated my OEM plug and I had to grind down a 17mm socket to install it due to it's tight location. I even tried a thin wall socket beforehand.

Yeah, that’s one of those head scratcher’s when you have to ask, what the heck was that design engineer thinking.

Figured I was a size off.
This is the correct plug... https://www.belmetric.com/14mm-metri...tp5j22risg2to0
I must have used a 16mm on the thermotime plug then...
So, sorry for the confusion. I bought those plugs 4 years ago and trashed the receipts.
