Default bolt sizes for head at front/back of engine

need to run to the hardware store; i was thinking about grounding at the front or back of the passenger side head. would anyone happen to know what size bolt i need? for some reason i think it's metric, maybe M11 x 2.0 but I'm not sure:

Default Flange Head Metrix Hex Bolts

I like the flanged headed metric bolts. A good source is mcmaster-carr(mcmaster .com). Depending on length <$10/25. Pt# 98093A619.These are good quality metric Grade/Class 10.9 which I believe is the equilavent of SAE grade 9 bolt.
I also like to drill and tap the above bolts and insert #10-32 stud. Add a insulated band clamp and locking nut as shown. Very helpful for securing wiring harness across back of engine head/block.
