Need to fix a spark plug hole thread. Need correct specs

Postby juntjoo » Thu Mar 07, 2019 2:28 pm

I don't know if there is a standard for motorcycles or something but I've gathered they're smaller than for car/truck plugs so I'm just trying to find the right general thread repair kit. I'm going for a heli-coil kit cuz their particular tool allows for lateral clearance for deep narrow circumstances where the other brand(s) have these fat handles. And I found a used one on Amazon for a good price but I wanna make sure.

I'm measuring close to m12 but as you can see it's not quite exact at least with this little "pocket caliper"

but it measures perfect for other taps I tested with it. The thread measurement is exact at 1.25 though.

Anyone know the exact measurements? Thanks
