    D2 V8 Tappet cover screw heads - what are they?

    Looking at replacing tappet cover gaskets and discovered the torx style screw heads. None of my metric sockets fit. Is there a special tool?
    TIA

    They're just 12 point bolts instead of the regular 6 point. You need an 8mm 12 point socket.

    Steve,,
    let us know if the gaskets were broken,,
    maybe the bolts just needed a nip up?
