Does anyone know what size the 4 bolts/screws that hold the ignition coil down are? While re-doing the head gaskets I noticed that whomever had the vehicle before me (I am assuming their mechanic) didn't put any bolts back into the ignition coil to hold it down so it has just been rattling around for who knows how long.

M6 X 12 Hex Head special, it has a reduced size head with built-in flange.

I prefer to keep all of my bolts fitted as the coil pack assembly is a heavy lump, those screws are going into ali castings, and if they work loose you're going to screw up two very expensive pieces of the engine.
