34 views and not one person can give me the size of the torque screws? I am going to assume they are 30.

I would guess from your post you are referring to the center torq screw for the coil pack, at least that would be my guess from the information you provided. It is helpful to the 30 who read the post to be specific

If it is the coil pack this is a 27

Sarcasm noted.

Thanks for your info. Yes, its the torque screw for the coil pack. I refer to them as boots. 27, great, you saved me some gas money as I would have picked up 30 and it would have been incorrect.
