Head Bolts on 89 pu 3.0L
What kind of socket do I need for my head bolts on an 89 pu w/ 3.0L V6? It's a weird many sided star shaped bolt. Will a 12 sided socket work or is it a special socket? If all I need is 12 sided socket, what size is it? FSM gives no help on this, any help/advice greatly appreciated.

Chicken Lover, were you able to extract all the headbolts with the cams in place with those 12mm headbolts?
benwahballs - my '90 3vze had 12pt 14mm headbolts, so just go by your nearest sears and find those two sizes in the craftsman line up. Youll want that warrenty too, since to pop the head bolts loose you'll likely be putting 100+ftlbs of torque on em... I know my passenger bank was insane how much they were torqued down!!!
