Hi, does anyone know the size of this bolt as i need to get a helicoil to fix my problem...wrx my95 import.
thanks

 

sorry u wont be able to helicoil these bolts, as the torque settings are to high for the helicoil to take im afraid.

 

Ok...re-thread bigger bolt then.

 

Beware of the Subaru torque specs. It's quite well established that the FSM's are incorrect for a number of bolts. This leads to people striping the threads all the time. Double check Subaru specs with a table found on the net for the same size and pitch bolt. If they are vastly different then don't use the Subaru ones!

 

yep^ I knackered a water pump and a cam cap thread with the Subaru service manual torques.
