I was going to use a 12mm 12pt socket, but it feels like a bit to much play, I'm already cursing up a storm doing this 3vze head gasket job, and a stripped head bolt would put me over the edge especially after getting off the dreaded crossover pipe, and exhaust pipe nuts. My nuts were so tight the entire studs broke loose before the nuts let loose. I just finished the head gaskets in my Audi A4 and the Audi was a piece of cake compared to this beast! Figured I'd ask before going any further. Thanks!

 

I just asked this question last week...check the link.
