valve cover bolt................

does anyone know what thread the is? I need only one but shipping is 30 times more than the bolt. Would a hardware store have somethin I can use?

The thread diameter is this really funky size, 1/4". The thread pitch is even more rare, it's 20 TPI. Only available from the Dealership. You'll never find a replacement. Whatever you do, don't try to use common socket head cap screws, they will make your engine leak.

The danger to cookie-selling Girl Scouts is very high with this task. Do so at your own risk. I'm gonna go get some more Girl Scout cookies while it's still safe!
