Default Head bolt pitch/size???

I need to know what size are the head bolts and what is the pitch of the threads? I need to clean out the holes and dont wanna wait for an ARP bolt chase. So i wanna go to a local hardware store and buy a tap.
I know about the old bolt trick, but somebody threw my old bolts away. So I need the tap. I tried to search it, but the search engine isnt working for some reason.

I use the nylon brushes at the link below. You can order the size you need and they are cheap. Use one of these and a can of carb cleaner and you can clean all your bolt holes in under 20 minutes. I actually have a couple of spares, if you need one. http://www.goodway.com/accessory/548-gtc-211.aspx

You can also notch out a stock head bolt to use as a thread chaser...
