    Thanks a lot for your help

    One more question that i've thought of is a thread tap the same thing as a thread chaser ?

    I haven't got a head bolt to measure but i've got a M12x1.75 tap i can use to clean the head bolt holes out if it's OK to use ?

    Thanks

    Andrew

    a chaser would be better, it's far less likely to damage the threads
