IMS Chain tenionser thread pitch size?

[spdrcr21]

I bought a plug tap (M27x2.0) from McMaster-Carr as blue62/JFP in PA suggested and chased the threads in the block. It quite some time clean up the threads, clean out metal residue, and use a diagnostic camera to make sure everything was clean. After doing this I was able to thread in and torque the IMS tensioner to spec (59 ft-lbs). Thank you all for your assistance. I am grateful!

Thank you. I've put around 500 miles after fixing the threads (and replacing the IMS, Rear Main Seal, Clutch, Flywheel, Slave Cylinder, AOS, Sparkplugs, Waterpump and Thermostat) the car is running great!
