If it is truelly a 2000 engine, it is an LQ4. The tap for the alt is an M10, can't recall the thread pitch though. The head stud should be the unequal length ones, not the set that is all the same size.

LQ4 = dish piston = 9.5 CR
LQ9 = flat top pistons = 10.4 CR (IIRC)
The LQ9 was not available until 2001, that is when 317 heads started becoming standard on Iron 6.0L engines. The LQ4 and LQ9 are identical, except for the piston design.
