Does anyone on this planet know what the size is for the 6 point bolt on the cylinder head?.... doing a head gasket job got my arp studs on, nuts torqued, and go to find the 6 point and have no clue where it is... I've scoured the internet and all kinds of repair, maint, and o/h manuals to find it and i am at a loss... some help would be greatly appreciated thanks. I could just guess but i'd rather not tear this thing apart again if i guess wrong, just trying to make sure i do everything the right way... again thanks

 

While I maybe late with this reply, I am still going to ask the obvious. What are you asking for the size of? the way the question is worded it is truly a "how long is a piece of string?" question. are you asking what size socket fits the 6-point head bolts? are you asking what size threads are on the end of the 6-point head bolts? or are you asking what size socket fit the nuts for the studs, you got from arp?

 

Well...if you've ever done a 3VZ-E head gasket job the question is a simple one. And the pic shows the empty bolt hole as well.

Not that it likely matters at this point. But the answer is M10 x 35mm x 1.25(w/ a 3mm thick washer). Maybe someone else will need it at some point.

 

Thanks MudHippy! Just what I was looking for!

 

My 1990 4x4 and my 1991 RV cab & chassis (both 3VZE's) both have the 55D23 plastic battery tray, which is a bit too short for a Group 24 battery. Does anyone know the part number for the tray that will hold a Group 24 battery in the stock right side battery sopport? I have lost a group 24 battery to each, one while wheeling and had the battery shift into the PS pulley and the other because the person I bought the RV from used a wood shim spacer to secure the battery which loosened and suffered a similar fate as the first. Thanks!
