Arhm.. my memory is fuzzy.

Head bolts are hex heads... I believe it is 12mm? maybe 10?

Crank pully is a big mofo... I think like 25 or 28mm? Dont quote me.

Crank pulley is 27mm... 1-1/16 is probably a more common size.

Which Pully?

Do you mean the crank pulley, or are you refering to the cam sprocket?

The cam sprocket bolt is 24mm, atleast on the SOHC.

Thanks I guess I will have to buy the 27mm socket. I guess for the head bolts I will have to get a Hex socket kit.

the head bolts are 10mm hex sockets, and your either gonna need a breaker bar or some air tools to get them out.
