Intake Plenum Allen Bolts

Intake Plenum Allen Bolts
I got done with my front brakes yesterday and finally started working on the valve covers. Unfortunately, I keep finding new problems with the car that will need to be resolved down the road. First it was the sway bars, now it's a leaking Power Steering Pump (or hose, I can't tell).
Anyway, here is my progress so far.
Front Valve Cover
Got the intake, the throttle body, and some of the wiring/piping out of the way
But now I need to figure out what size Allen key I need for these bolts

be very careful with those hex bolts..they strip easy.
what i would do is get some penetrating oil on them a day before u start to do the job, and then drive the car and re-apply penetrating oil.
and then drive the car before you start the job when the engine is warm and spray it down with brake cleaner very quickly to get the bolt cool while the manifold still warm.
and then try to take it off and it'll probably budge
it's a hard bolt to take off.
