I found this old email from Rusty from 2004, (I just knew I had it somewhere) here is what he said then but has since recanted some of the sizes, so if someone can correct this we can get a good listing of all the thread sizes some day.

Welcome to flyrotary.   Here is a running list of thread sizes that I've kept in my notes.  If anyone can add to these, it would be great.  Actually, it would be nice if we could assemble a list of all the thread sizes for bolts in the engine too.  I just wish I had kept better notes on some of these things.
