It's a 12-point, called a "bi-hex" or "triple square". Going off the advice I'd read on the forums I got a 10mm but it was too small, so I'm guessing it's a 12mm. (unless my 10mm was just packaged wrong and was really something smaller)

I used a 10mm allen head socket that I had from the bolts that connect the axles to the differential and it worked, but I would definitely suggest getting the right part to give yourself the most protection against stripping it.

^^^^^those are not head bolts lol.

those are the plugs that go to cover the cylinder head. if you take it off it is only like half an inch thick and you will see into the head and oil will be there.

you have to take off the valve covers to see the head bolts.

what are you trying to do?
