RPO Code List
Metric Fasteners
This vehicle provides fastener dimensions using the metric system. Most metric fasteners are approximate in diameter to equivalent English fasteners. Make replacements using fasteners of the same nominal diameter, thread pitch and strength.
A number marking identifies the OE metric fasteners except cross-recess head screws. The number also indicates the strength of the fastener material. A Posidrive® or Type 1A cross-recess identifies a metric cross-recess screw. For best results, use a Type 1A cross-recess screwdriver or equivalent, in Posidrive® recess head screws.
GM Engineering Standards and North American Industries have adopted a portion of the ISO-defined standard metric fastener sizes. The purpose was to reduce the number of fastener sizes used while retaining the best thread qualities in each thread size. For example, the metric M6.0 X 1 screw, with nearly the same diameter and 25.4 threads per inch replaced the English 1/4-20 and 1/4-28 screws. The thread pitch is midway between the English coarse and fine thread pitches.
Scheme 5
| Callout | Component Name |
|---|---|
| 1 | English Bolt, Grade 2 (Strength Class) |
| 2 | English Bolt, Grade 5 (Strength Class) |
| 3 | English Bolt, Grade 7 (Strength Class) |
| 4 | English Bolt, Grade 8 (Strength Class) |
| 5 | Metric Nut, Strength Class 9 |
| 6 | Metric Bolts, Strength Class Increases as Numbers Increase |
The most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The class identification is embossed on the head of each bolt. The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2 to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts are marked with a single digit strength identification number on the nut face.
The correct fasteners are available through GM SPO. Many metric fasteners available in the aftermarket parts channels are designed to metric standards of countries other than the United States and may exhibit the following
- Lower strength
- No numbered head marking system
- Wrong thread pitch
The metric fasteners on GM products are designed to new, international standards. The following are the common sizes and pitches, except for special applications
- M6.0 X 1
- M8 X 1.25
- M10 X 1.5
- M12 X 1.75
- M14 X 2.00
- M16 X 2.00
Thread Inserts
General Purpose Thread Repair Kits.
These kits are available commercially.
Scheme 6
Scheme 7
- Determine the size, the pitch and the depth of the damaged thread. If necessary, adjust the stop collars on the cutting tool and tap to the required depth. WARNING: Refer to «Safety Glasses Warning»(ref-610030-S11562800352014042100000) . NOTE: Refer to the thread repair kit manufacturer's instructions regarding the size of the drill and tap to use. Avoid any buildup of chips. Back out the tap every few turns and remove the chips.
- Drill out the damaged threads. Clean out any chips.
- Lubricate the tap with light engine oil. Tap the hole. Clean the threads.
- Thread the thread insert onto the mandrel of the installer. Engage the tang of the insert onto the end of the mandrel.
- Lubricate the insert with light engine oil, except when installing in aluminum and install the insert. NOTE: The insert should be flush to one turn below the surface.
- If the tang of the insert does not break off when backing out the installer, break the tang off with a drift.

Ignition Lock Cylinder
The ignition lock cylinder uses only 7 of the 10 cut positions, 2 through 8. The ignition cylinder tumblers (3) are located on alternate sides of the cylinder (1). They are snap-in and self-retaining. It follows the key code with the first tumbler being the first depth of the key code, closest to the head of the key.
Scheme 8
- Hold the ignition cylinder assembly (1) so the side with the tumbler spring pocket located closest to the head of the cylinder is facing up.
- Insert the tumbler spring (2) into each of the 4 spring pockets of the cylinder assembly.
