I'm doing my headgasket on my '95 22RE and have heard I should use a tap and die to clean up the head bolt holes and bolts. I was told that it's M12x1.25, is that true? If so, where could I order that size? I looked all over, including Sears, and couldn't find it, only M12x1.5 :(

Thanks

m12x1.25 is correct, I got mine from these guys (http://tacomascrew.com/)...

Hey Eli:

I got my tap and die from Pep Boys. Hanson brand, they seem to be decent. Let me know if you're having any trouble finding them, I drive right past a place in Atkinson every day that sells all sorts of metric hardware, I can drop em in the mail to ya.

Thanks Ken, but I ordered some through a local parts store.
