Question about the MEtric Blue headBolts

[mcgrath]

Your best bet is to find the thread pitch, size, length of the M10 bolt and cross reference it on the site that sells the ones for the m20. I don't have the info off hand, but If I have time I will look into it for you and post back here.

would the metric blues work with the m10 block?

yea thats what im woundering? does anyone know if they make them for an m10 i know they arent the same as m20 bolts. does anyone have info on this?

[Massive Lee]

The M10 bolts should be the same as for the M30 block which is an M10 + 50% bonus cylinders ;-)

Just a bit of education cause it bugs me. They arent metric blue head bolts, they are Socket Head Cap Screws, they are blue because blue indicates they are metric threaded, hence metric blue. They arent made to be used as head bolts, they are just bolts. Someone asked if they make them for XXX, they make them in several metric sizes, they come in M10x45 or M8x25 etc...

Decoding: M10x45 is a 10mm diameter (at the thread) and is 45mm long from the bottom of the head.

an M10 does not use a 10mm hex wrench, it uses an 8mm hex wrench, etc...

M10 does not stand for the engine but it means Metric, diameter 10 etc...

education complete

thanks and goodbye

Well thanks for education but I'm actually asking for the size of a metric blues for an M10 engine.

Thank you. I hate when the uneducated think metric blue is a brand name or something. Its just a blue coating on a generic metric bolt that just happens to have a size that fits a m20.
