    New head Bits

    Hello Persons
    Just received lots of expensive parts from UK Cylinder Heads.
    I notice the stretch bolts have nasty modern notched heads.
    Does anyone know what this configuration of bolt head is called?
    The source of a socket to suit would be useful too.
    Thank you in anticipation.

    do you mean torx (star shaped?) if so http://buy1.snapon.com/login/ukRegLogin.asp?country=uk will probably sort you out.

      Thanks for the reply Stara. I don't think its a torx head.

        Buy one of the normal sockets - not the hex shaped ones but the ones with lots of v sections from halfords, It's 17mm as far as I remember.

        Standard Halfords or draper ones will do it.

        Cheers

          I think I am the problem. After 50 years in mechanical maintenance I like things to fit, not nearly fit.
          A 14mm heavy duty socket nearly fits as does a 9/16 AF socket.
          Both would probably do the job.
          I may just try to get the right tool to make me happy.

            Yep it's the 14mm socket. Forgot it was quite a small head. Anyway I've got a set of cheap draper sockets from Halfrauds and they worked fine even with the extreme level of Torque that you need to tighten up the head.

            I think the proper tool is an external Torx socket. Think it is the same pattern as a Torx head but on the outside rather than the inside.

            Edit.

            Just found the correct ones I think.

              Tried the site you suggested and they sell sockets at a very keen price but the carriage is very dear.
              I have found hunting though my many tool boxes a hydraulic pump socket I only used once,
              supplied by Rexroth Germany. It fits the bolts very well.
              Thank you again for the help
