    Thread pitch of M20 valve cover nuts?

    Anyone know off-hand what size and thread pitch the nuts for the M20 valve cover are? I have... an idea.

      Hmmm... all I can find in what I'm looking for is standard sizes, no metric.

            ^that's the size. Metric m6. If it doesn't say the thread pitch I would guess it's 1.

                Excellent. Thanks guys. Hopefully I can find what I'm looking for in that size. ;) Is there a standard equivalent to that size?

                  you cannot thread a standard nut onto a metric stud no, you would have to retap and use a standard threaded stud

                            I believe this to be correct Sir.
