Hi
Ive recently brought a 4x4 200 blocked cossie engine .
I want to get it all rebuilt before replacing the current engine, when i went to remove the head it looks to me as if its had 6 long studs fitted.My problem is i cant find a scoket to fit the nuts, has anyone any idea what size they are.
Cheers
Mark

as carl said you have to machine the outside of the socket to get into it
