Reply With QuoteIt's just a normal socket but the 12 sided type, not the 6 sided type.
You might need a 3/8" drive socket though. There's one stud near cylinder1 that has minimal clearance and it's difficult to get a 1/2" drive socket down square on the nut.

hey guys, quick one for you all.
the 16v I picked up has ARP head studs.
wanted to take the head off tonight but wanted to check what socket to use? Not convinced a standard socket is correct option.
Is there a special ARP socket? Or just normal multi spline?

Yeah......it should be most likely a 12 tooth or even the normal hex type, shouldn't need any special type of socket????? Because the reason why i say thos is because i also have a xy falcon with a 351 Cleveland that I built myself and has complete ARP bolts and studs throughout the whole engine I never needed and special sockets for them???
