Wendell,

I am out of town and not at my hangar to check bolt size and thread pitch.......I

think it may be as much as 14mm......If you have not determined size by this weekend

I will check one of my engines........A possible source might be the oil pan drain bolt

selection at most auto supply stores........They come in many sizes and thread pitches

both Metric & SAE........Since you only need it to seal oil pan to engine block the

bolt quality is not an issue.........FWIW
