Cam cap bolt/nut question
I have a 4x4 sapphire cosworth and dismantled the head a while back. In doing that, I fu**ed a bolt that holds the cam cap nearest the pulley (one of two big ones at the front of the head, not the eight little ones).
The bold had an allen key head on it, which I ended up drilling out cos my allen bit slipped in it.
I have just tried to order a replacement, but no-one has ever heard of an allen bolt fitting for this, according to microcat, it should be a stud, washer and nut fitting.
Checked escos diagrams too and those show the same stud/washer/nut combination.
I am a little puzzled as to what could have happened there, any of you seen this before ?
Thanks in advance.

All sorted, the pictures on microcat are wrong, but when you try and order the stud, it tells you can't order anything else that's related to it - the allen bolts are what you get when you order the studs.

Ive dug this old thread (excuse pun) up as im after some info on this m6 bolt.
Does anyone know what the pitch thread is for it ?
As ive got a cam cap bolt that has that feeling of stripping its thread if tightened any further,and its not that tight now
I'm thinking of putting a helicoil in,but want to order the right size before i pull it apart.
Any help appreciated
