Valve cover screws??

I am hoping someone could tell me what size socket to use on the valve cover screws. Looks like a 12 point? I don't have a 12 point that small, so if someone could tell me what size they are I will buy one.

12pt 8mm 1/4 drive socket with an extension, can't recall if you need a 3" or 6" extension.

Thank you very much. That is just what I needed to know. Now I will get one tomorrow.

I just tightened up the bolts on 2 different D2's this last weekend and both have stopped leaking. Don't over tighten them and then recheck every oil change or so.
