Default Exhaust manifold bolts, what type of socket?
What type of socket is used on the exhaust manifold bolts? They seem strange looking.

They're just 12-point bolts. Many sockets are 12-point even though 6-point bolt heads are more common.

I think the 12 point bolts are 12mm IIRC. At least that's what they are on DII's. The earlier six point bolts were 14mm.

Be prepared for them to be seized, do't be surprised if you break a few. PB Blaster a few times may be helpful.
