Title: Allen head length - Engine - 97 M900
Post by: greenohawk69 on June 25, 2019, 09:38:34 PM
I measured the OEM sockets and they were M6 x 18mm length.

Will there be an issue using 20mm length? (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190626/7d2577512bdf122f47238c4f9f38368a.jpg)

I'd say no problem.

Should be easy enough to check the depth of the hole with a piece of wire.

They're already installed. Of more concern is the extra 2mm potentially being an issue (e.g. rubbing on something it shouldn't ).

Engine is stock AFAIK. 1997.
