Hi all,

Got to put my head back on this weekend and was just wondering, does anyone know what the size of the nut that goes on the head studs are? I have to get a new socket and i can't remember what size the nuts are.

Cheers

Can't remember the size off the top of my head but make sure you use hardenned steel washers underneath those bolts, or flanged type nuts. Don't use supercrap soft steel washers, or for that matter notthing at all!
