Message	I calculated the turns out for this specific bolt based off 1.5x the diameter. Which is in line with your statement that a more coarse pitch would require less turns to reach this estimation. Diameter, and thus estimated engagement length remain constant. Pitch, and thus estimated turns are variable. I also stated 'the amount of turns will change with pitch, but the safe engagement length will remain constant', in the message you responded to. Anyhow, this is beyond the scope of the topic from the OP. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD)
