If you have a set of digital calipers u might be able to measure the thread size/pitch yourself.

I admit, I'm obsessing about this a bit so bear with me. Looking at everything again, it occurred to me that even with the pulley on, the face of the crank nozzle is flush to where the pulley bolt meets anyway. It's the flange on the bolt head that grabs the pulley and keeps it snug. It doesn't sandwich the pulley between the bolt head and the crankshaft (hope that makes sense). That being said, when the bolt is installed even with the motor fully dressed it's the same as if the pulley isn't there, either way the bolt head rests against the crank nozzle. I have a feeling once the new bolt shows up it will thread right in with no problems.

I got a pitch gauge and found my calipers, I was able to successfully clean the threads up. In case this ever happens to anyone else, the correct size tap is an M16 x 1.5.

It’s alive! Around 100 on cold start, floating in the 20’s at about 160 degrees.
