H22 Head bolt socket size??
Hey Guys,
I'm taking th head off of my 98 Prelude (H22A) to inspect for damage. I think I ran it to lean (super charged to 12 psi), and have lost most of the compression on one cylinder.
Anyway, I'm at the point where I can remove the cylinder head bolts, but I don't know what socket will fit them. Looks like maybe a 12-point 13 mm socket?? Ot is it some odd-ball size that I need to buy off the dealer? I tried a 9/16" 12-point (same as 14mm) but it was too sloppy and would probably just strip the bolt head.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Well, I bought a 13mm 12-point socket and it was way to small. So, I went with the kind'a loose fitting 14mm 12-point and everything went well so I guess 14 it is... now to see what kind of mess I've made of the internals...
