Default 98 V6 SOHC - Lower intake bolt size (for helicoil)

Hey there,

I managed to strip one of the bore threads (bolt is fine) when putting the lower intake manifold back in. It's the hole in the aluminium head as in the pic.

I put everything back together but I want to get a thread repair / helicoil kit and fix it up.

Does anyone know the correct size I need? I've been told it's M6x1 but I'm not super confident in the source and so would like to double check before I spend money on the wrong kit and make the problem worse by fitting the wrong size. Can't find anything online.

Cheers!
