1.6 16V - Intake Manifold Nuts - Ed-Mc - 04-07-2016 Any idea what the thread pitch on the flanged intake manifold mounting nuts. Had to pull the head on the '98 Tracker 1.6, had some non-factory nuts and some rounded. I want to get them all 12-mm wrench size like factory, instead of mixed 12's and 13's that came off. Pretty sure they're for an M8 stud, but not sure about thread pitch - maybe 1.25?? And guess what, the cylinder head didn't have allen-socket head bolts, it had hex-heads with big washers, that some Idiot used to "repair" the engine. You can imagine what happened next, lots of leaks and not much torque on the head bolts!!!!! ![]() BTW, thanks for the excellent writeup in your "Pull" section, once I got the big bracket out from under the intake, it was a pretty easy job to "float" the manifold to the side. Thanks..........ed RE: 1.6 16V - Intake Manifold Nuts - fixkick - 04-07-2016 it the ISO spec bolts course, that mix is not ISO 13m socket is spec, ISO 12mm are alien 1.25 is coarse pitches see wiki for easy,ISO facts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_metric_screw_thread yes , and the bolts for suzuki hare hard to find (head) some stores even lie, mixing up 8v and 16v same and are not. http://www.fixkick.com/buy-parts.html#head-bolts RE: 1.6 16V - Intake Manifold Nuts - Ed-Mc - 04-10-2016 FYI I found some, they are M8x1.25. Cheers............ed RE: 1.6 16V - Intake Manifold Nuts - fixkick - 04-11-2016 great easy peasy japaneezy or if don't know, pick ISO. heheheheeh |
