what size/type socket is needed on the head bolts? looks like a 12 point tork or star bit. I know there are a few different types of internal type bolt heads...it's a 1.6 diesel motor, not sure of the year.
The head I got pull is not at home so I wanted to make sure I buy the right type bit before I make another trip to go get it.

I've been buying just the bits in a set. There not as handy because you have to use a 6 point metric socket with them. But the price is right and you will need some of the other sizes on the CV axles and else where. They do wear out after a while and then replacement isn't a big deal. All snap-on people disregard this post.

i might have one already. i just brought standard sockets cause i didn't expect a star type bolt when i pulled the valve cover. tool box and head are 200 miles apart.
