Head and base nut sizes

m8x1.25 for both. Make sure to buy 4 flange nuts for the base and 6 non flanged nuts and washers for the cylinder head.

The flange nuts won't work on the head? Flange just has a washer built in, right?

Yes flange nut has the washer built in, but the clamping load is gonna be different between a flange nut an a nut with a washer, an the floating washer helps with keeping them tight, cause the heat is in the head not at the base

i agree, run regular nuts with seperate washers on the head.

A picture paints a thousand words.

Can I run flange nuts with separate washers? Or is that a no go as well.

I wouldn't do that. If you need nuts an washers ill give them to you, i have metric 10.9 nuts an hardend flat washers, the bolt bin is large an fully stocked

Tensions will be wrong due to extra friction of the flange on the washer!
