Thermostat housing bolt size - HELP!
So the last time I did my intake, I broke off one of the thermostat housing bolts while removing it and had to have it drilled out. Was doing my thermostat again and when I went to install the housing, the threads stripped.
Does anyone know the thread size of the bolts? Google isn't being my friend today. Could only find info on the old style V8 and the 4.7s. I have a 5.2 Magnum.
Help would very much be appreciated so I can find the next size up and tap it out. My truck isn't doing me much good with coolant pissed out of the thermostat housing

I know, I barely had it snug and it just spun right around. I tried using loctite and getting it as snug as possible before it spun around and it leaks. I could always just jimmy-rig it using RTV and hope it works but was more or less hoping I could just tap it using the next biggest size.
