Hello all. Gearing up to replace a stripped cylinder head stud. I have read many posts from here and other BMW forums and watched several YouTube videos. The one thing I can't verify is the size of the stud, or more specifically the thread pitch. In the parts diagram it lists it as a M10x260 but no thread pitch. Common thread repair kits come in M10-1.0, 1.25 and 1.5. Any one know 1st hand what it is?
Also, thinking of going in the middle with the Ez-lok thread repair kit. More robust than a typical heli-coil but not as wide as a Time Sert? I don't know if the stud is one with the sleeve alignment insert so I was concerned about the Time Sert shoulder. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
