Tecumseh intake bolt and thread size?

Howdy folks I have a craftsman 536.887990.  I need to know the thread and bolt size for the intake manifold bolts. 
Sears Direct Part #: 30088A.
The bolt came out hard and will not go back in without to much forse.  I want to run a tap in to just clean the pathway if possible.
 
Thank You

AVB,
   Thank You!!!
I have to say I have never run into as much of a problem finding a simple answer as I have with this bolt.
   Sears direct, Ebay sellers, and ever here at Jacks small engines e-store are all just un-knowledgeable clerks with absolutely no working experience of the products they sell.  
   I could not get any single person on any of the call in help lines or email for assistance pages that could give the simple thread and bolt size of what they are selling.  
I brought the bolt with me and was heading to Fastenall today.
Thank You AVB!

Just lucked out on a google search of the part number.
 
Like you I get very little if any support of screw sizes used. Fastenal has proven to be a good source; plus doesn't hurt to have a set of taps and dies in both SAE and Metric though they don't cover every size but I adding the ones I need as I find ones that I need.
