Default Head stud size / thread pitch?

A couple of the threads for the head studs in my block are stripped. I need to know the size of the threading on the block-end of the studs. Anyone have this info? I'm at work so I can't look first hand, and a search here and at Clark's Garage didn't turn up anything. My guess is 12 x 1.75, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance.

if im looking at the right nut in the PET, its 12x1.5 (it states that there is 10 of them, so i assume its the head stud nuts)

The studs aren't stripped, the block is stripped, I think. Haven't pulled the studs out yet, so I'm not sure exactly what happened. It's all very depressing.

Damn you are up late... By "the block is stripped", does that mean the stud spins freely in the block? Did the stud come out with the nut? If that is the case, then you may have to call a machine shop to have the block worked on.

The studs seem to be moving freely, with a wrench anyways. I haven't had time to mess with it since a few days ago, so I'm still not sure exactly what's damaged and what isn't. If it's the block, I'm going to try timeserts.
