I've been trying to locate a recent heavy oil leak. Then I found a hole in the upper timing case :eeek: After removing the valve cover and upper timing cover I discovered that the drivers side timing chain guide bolt had snapped and the spacer had backed out. Both the broken bolt and spacer were resting on the case and eventually made a hole. The threads on both the M6X1.0X45mm guide bolt and the M12x0.75 guide spacer have been flattened and unusable. So far I had found a similar grade 8 M6 bolt from home depot that needed to be cut to correct length and rethreaded. But my problem is finding a tap and die locally for a M12x0.75 is nowhere to be found.
Can I rethread a M12x 0.75 to a M12x 1.50?
