Re: Need Help on Bolt Size

So just to clarify, as it looks like we may have gotten off track as far as the v8's go, (sorry, I may be misunderstanding) on my 235 straight 6, The bolt that goes into the water pump pulley is a 5/16 fine thread? Just want to be sure as I have nothing to go off of right now - nothing there. I would really like to get the truck going with the cooling system working so that I can run it for longer than 3 minutes without cooking anything! Thanks for the help guys!

Most studs have a fine and a course thread side. you should be able screw the correct threaded stud or bolt in with your fingers.

You could use a tap to clean the threads if they have rusted for some reason but usually you don't need to do that.
