Rocker arm threads

[95sporty150]

anyone know what size threads they are? I bought a used head and it was stripped, now I need to helicoil it so I can get this car moving. anyone?

Although it shouldn't matter... what heads are they? Its most likely an M10x1.25, although I could be wrong on the pitch.

umm, lol I had it wrote down somewere, they are off a 99 pontiac engine, ill get the casting number, stand by. are all the rocker arms the same? I layed them out the order they came off by my wife, moved some things to get to some cleaner I have and they get scrambled up, is there any diffrence?

[bszopi]

No, there is no difference.

They are M10X1.25 on the bottom M10X1.00 on the top.

Yea. Are you saying you have damaged your threads?

You have another option aswell. You can tap it out to a 7/16" thread and then use a SBC stud with a 7/16 bottom 3/8" top. This will allow the use of an aftermarket rocker arm if you wish to go this route. But for a fix on a stock motor the Heli Coils are the way to go.
