Default Rocker Oil Fittings size

Can anyone confirm my belief that the size of the rocker box oil fittings is 1/8 NPT? I want to clean up the threads in the rocker boxes before re-assembly but I don't have the right tap and I've haven't the fitting specs printed anywhere.

1/8"NPT and don't tap them any deeper or they'll seat too deep for some oil lines to fit right.
