You need exactly what you said you need. An allen socket. Dont have one? Go buy one. You're working on an RB. Youll need some tools :) .

why are you removing those plugs?
unless the oil and water passageways are repulsively dirty there is no reason to remove them.

This is why I posted on the forums first, I'm just taking the head of 2 send it 2 the machine shop.. Guess those r just plugs not bolts holding it down huh?

i'd highly sudgest finding the fsm and do some reading on how to remove the head...if you remove the head bolts in the wrong order it WILL warp.
you should have the head checked (and decked, if needed) when you have it cleaned.
10mm allen for the head bolts btw, most parts stores sell a socket thats used for brake work that does the job just fine.
