Default i need the specs on crankshaft threads?

Can someone tell me what or where i can find the specs on the crankshaft thread size. I know its metric but not sure what size. I know i am gonna have to tap it when i get a new pulley.

I thought i saw it on here somewhere but couldnt find it.

TIA....

M16 * 2.0, I think the hardness is 10.9, but not a 100% on the hardness.

Cool thanks guys. i know my first couple of threads are a little messed up so i am gonna have to run a tap through it when i get my other pulley. do youy think i would be ok with just using the same size to clean the hole out and fix those first couple of threads or go to a 17mm?

Just clean them up. Make sure you put grease in the valleys of the tap. I had to do this once before myself.
