Allen socket, 10mm x 3/8"dr. about 6" long. Tool trucks, Sears, Good auto parts store. maybe Lowe's or Home Depot.

14mm allen socket for the center cover (along sprak plugs)

Also recomend you get a torque wrench for reinstalling the head ,otherwise you may blow it right out.Included is my crappy home made drawing of the torque spec for reinstall.Enjoy :P

Seen Mrnickleye post this in another thread:

Updated value for Standard (new factory) Head bolt torque is 72 lb ft.
ARP are higher, and ARP studs are even higher. Use their recommendations if you use their stuff.
Be sure to use NEW factory bolts, never re-use bolts. $40 cost.

I woulda thought my book had the new values ,sorry.Agree with buying new bolts as well.Good luck.
