Author Message   Ryker77 Posted on Sunday, October 09, 2005 - 07:26 pm:        quick question for the quick board. I've got to pull my front head. Need to know what size/type of socket fits the head bolts. Plus I just found out the threads on almost new NHRS XB heads... on the lower rocker cover. Are almost stripped out. So with luck I can use a tap to clean them up and use a new bolt.   Spiderman Posted on Sunday, October 09, 2005 - 07:30 pm:        Are you talking about the four main bolts that holds the head down to the cyl? If so it is a 5/8 12 point socket.   Ryker77 Posted on Sunday, October 09, 2005 - 08:05 pm:        thats what I had thought just a standard 12 point socket. thanks   Spiderman Posted on Sunday, October 09, 2005 - 08:12 pm:        NP. Do you need the tourqe specs or ya got those??   Phat_j Posted on Monday, October 10, 2005 - 06:14 pm:        sorry, spidy, its a half inch 12 pt....   Ryker77 Posted on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 - 12:07 pm:        I got the spec from the manual. so its 1/2 or 5/8 looks more like 1/2. I'll just keep the receipt.   Spiderman Posted on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 - 12:21 pm:        Yeah it's 1/2 sorry bout that...
