Cleaning tap size for head bolts?
Cleaning tap size for head bolts? I know the M11 bolts are a 2.0 thread pitch, anybody know what the M8 bolts on the heads are? Im trying to buy the proper ARP cleaning taps for the head swap. Thanks
ARP chasers just "clean" the threads....TAPS cut and weaken the threads.

Verdad Gallardo Because its not very effective. You should see all the loctite the chaser got out that the cut bolt didnt. Trust me, I'm cheap and don't like to spend the extra cash. I ended up buying both chasers.

Heck, if you're getting more crud out with the chaser my hat's off to you. I used a combination of rags, cut bolt, and high pressure air. It worked out okay. I'd be afraid of altering the threads with a chaser, but I could be completely off base. Anyway, good luck with your install!
This is just like the "degree the cam" thread. People don't do that either and get by. Some people are just not too concerned about the little details.

To each their own I guess. My studs absoulty have zero resistant going in after being chased. Before they would go in, but get hung up on the way down. Bottom line is the bolts will go in, but torque accuracy may or may not be effected by crud in the holes.
