Default Coil pack bolt thread size

Anyone know the thread size and have a good lead on helicoils for the valve covers coil pack bolts?

How many did you screw up? If it's only one I think you'll be ok without it. I haven't replaced the back ones on any car I've worked on.

Like the Meatloaf song goes, "Five out of six ain't bad"

Yeah, thanks for the response and you're right, you can usually get away with one or even two. But I am going in there over the next month to replace the PCV hoses and valve, and find one noisy rocker, I thought while I had it apart I'd helicoil the cover threads.

So it has to be on this site already to be true, my bad.

It is always a good idea to double check any info you get here. I believe this is the GM bolt as well:

Good luck.

Default Part number for the bolt

I have a 2001 3.8 camaro missing the bolts on my coil pack and I can’t figure out the size of the bolts

Measure the threaded hole, figure the length, and go to the hardware store in the Metric hardware section and get some that look close, varying sizes so one will be it.

Was you answering me or him? Cause I’ve tried everything, even taking the coil pack and putting different bolts in it.

Go to a junkyard, find a similar car, and get the bolts you need.
