Weird bolt size question

[Don W.]

What is the CORRECT bolt size for the two bolts that hold the oil cooler lines to the block adapter and oil filter?

SAE? Coarse for sure but 3/8"?

Metric? Dia? Pitch? Length?

I know 3/8 coarse and certain metric are very close.

I'm asking because I just don't like the way things are tightening up. I can just tell something ain't quite correct. :roll:

Odd I know, but thanks.

This is what I came up with..please correct me if I'm wrong. I believe these 2 bolts have a torx head? hope this helps?

Bolt =8mm=5/16
Bolt length = 3"
Pitch 1.5mm
Length of actual thread = 22mm ( a hair under 7/8")

Assuming you are talking about the single bolt at either end of the remote oil lines, it's M10 x 1.5, 35mm, PN14056165.

Double check torque of those bolts when reassembling, they stretch easily. I got mixed up in the service manual about which oil lines bolt torque specs were which and had to buy a new set of those long bolts.

I love this , 8mm does not equal 5/16" , just like 13mm does not equal 1/2 inch , or 14mm equals 9/16".. they will work in wrenches but they are not EQUAL...... sorry , I listen to this all day..... lol

No worries. Live and learn as the old saying goes. I wouldn't call it a f*&$ up though. Just an honest piece of misinformation that is now fixed.
