I need to pick up a M7 nut for one of the rocker arm studs. Will a M7 nut from the hardware store/Home Depot work or do I need one from one of our suppliers? I'm assuming Porsche will charge me 3x for the Porsche sticker on the plastic bag.

Depends on thread pitch
No not all M7's are the same. |

The most common metric sizes are 6 X 1.0 and 8 x 1.25 Dime a dozen, everyone has them.
The least common are 7 X 1.0 and anything in 9. I don't think 7 X 1.0 (what the stud size is on my 2.0 heads) will be available for pick up anywhere. I'd want a higher grade than what the normal hardware store has. Hopefully someone will offer up a good used stock one for you. In this case I'd be hunting original. |
