Anyone know what size the 12 point bolts are?

The head bolts are 14 and the others are 12.

 

O.

Thanks, I assume that bolt  on the back side of the motor needs a 12mm box wrench?

Yup and there are a couple 10mm under the oil pan and windage tray.

 

One at on the side of the large coolant tube/chamber right behind the waterpump.

Yep I got all those off I just need to take off the 12 mm block bolts and the one on the back part of the motor.

Wait a sec... I guess the socket needs to be 12 mm 3/4"? My 1/2 is too fat.

yep. you need 12 pt 12mm.

Yes I know but my 1/2" socket won't fit where the water jackets are. Im not sure if they make it in 3/8"

use a 3/8 socket and ext with the adapter to 1/2 unless you have a 3/8 size breaker bar.

I ended up returning everything and just ordering this which will be here Monday

You can see on my picture attachment the hump part of the socket is why it wont fit to reach the bolts because it's too fat to fit

I know the issue.

I just use a 3/8 socket with a breaker bar or an adapter to the 3/8 from 1/2. Whichever was handier at the moment. Generally the 1/2 adapter so I can use my impact wrench to wind the bolts out.

I'm just going to wait until my socket comes tomorrow.
