If I remmember correctly the spark plug should be 14mm 1.25

You may want to concider a thread sert for the spark plug hole and getting a machine shop to take care of that so it done rite.


As far as the other, it is going to be 8mm 1.25 or 10mm 1.25

x2 on the insert for the plugs.  Use a quality time-sert and have it done correctly, so you don't have to worry about it.
