What is the exhaust thread pitch for the KA24DE so I can buy the proper heli coil kit? I know this is just a temporary fix, BUt I need to tighten my very loose exhaust manifold for one more drift event/practice and I am missing some bolts from the head and most are loose and cannot be tightened.Thank you,Oh yeah, I am doing the job in a few hours so any quick help would be great!

just pull one of the loose ones and measure the pitch. any good store that sells tools should be able to measure the bolts for you and give you the correct heli-coils. i gotta disagree about them being a temp fix though, we use those on our guns at my work and those things, if installed correctly, will hold for years.
