Dorman 675354 m10x1.50 stud $.63 (closeout)
looks suitable for the timing belt tensioner stud. Those things sometimes get damaged and finding one is
kind of a hassle. Nice to have a spare
I took one off a 1.6d head to measure and the dorman one is just slightly longer on the long end.
Short end and the shank are the same.

That TB stud seems like a bad design. Really not enough thread going into the aluminum head for the
torque spec of 33lbs. I had one of those pull out on my old 11mm head and it was a real PIA to install an insert to fix it.
I wonder if cutting a couple extra threads on the short end would be a good idea because the
hole goes a little further in if I remember correctly.
Certainly needs plenty of red loctite too.
