We are trying to take the head off the Talon. Per Mits manual need special tool to remove the OEM head bolts. Looks like a 12 point star. Does anyone in the Bloomington area have this tool that we might be able to borrow to take the head off? Please let me know ASAP. 309-261-6880 Jeremy

Most hardware stores worth anything should carry 12 point star sockets. I bought mine from Ace, I believe.

I just happens to be the only socket I am missing. Mits really throw me off where they said to you need a rev torque socket.

all the dsm's that I've worked on had 10mm hex key bolts for the headstuds.
The ARP nuts use a 13mm (maybe 12mm) 12 point. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food
