Isn't 10.9 the same as US grade 8??  I think it's refered to as ISO
10.9?

Thanks!

The correct size is 7mm. Should be at least grade 10.9. Good luck
finding them.

Subject: Rocker Bolts

I have an 82 Vanagon 2.0L Type 4.

I was wondering if you all know what size nut I need for the studs that
hold the rockers in place on the head?  I noticed the shaft looks a
little tapered, is this correct?   I thought I picked up the right nuts
tonight, but they are just a little loose.  I'm hoping I won't have to
pull the head again and take it in to compare bolts.

I have successfully replaced my dead piston and two jugs - without
removing the engine and it was a pain. (don't ask.)  I have the head
back on and am looking forward to getting it running again!

Thanks!
Jeremy
