I figure it's a standard size hex/allen whatever, cause a metric 6 seems like it fits snug but when I try to break it loose it slips inside the hole and I already rounded one out trying. Anyone know the exact key size haha. Thanks.

 

i used a torx bit iirc

 

hmm lol any idea what size i have a strip of torx's i bought a metric set of hex sockets that didn't work don't wanna waste more on stuff that won't work haha

 

tried a torx-40 and seemed snug, could feel it was gonna buckle like the 6 metric hex was
45 was too big

 

bump someones gotta f'in know i searched everywhere i could think of for the size lol google and noone posting the size ftmfl

At risk of sounding like an idiot, whats the oil galley?

It's probably that 40 that fit snug but you might have stretched it a little with that hex....I say that because I have done it before. Hell I almost did it on the coil pack cover because some ass bag super torqued them down and the hex I had at the time fit pretty good.

 

yeah everyone has a different story on it one person says hex/allen next person says torx just trying to get it straight one goddamn bolt is holding up my whole process

 

its an allen key im 100% sure on that..if u dont have the answer by morning ill check for you when im at my garage

 

alright thanks man i just don't wanna strip another one using the wrong size haha

 

i know they take a good bit of force to pop them loose..i did minw when the block was out of the car and it was still pretty damn tight

 

haha yea my buddy said his was loc-tite'd in, of course he remembers that and not the size

 

try a standard size allen socket. i think thats what i used, i dont remember the same size, but i can check in the morning for you tomorrow.

 

yea im thinking you're right it's gotta be a standard cause the metric 6 slips up in the bolt and then the 7 is too large
only standards i have are handheld and all the wrong size that's why i was looking to know so i can go buy it in a socket form haha

 

buy the tip of the allen head piece that goes in the socket and use a wrench on it..that worked way easier for me

 

you mean take a regular handheld one and put it in an adjustable wrench?

 

ya pretty much, they sell pieces that slip into sockets that are like 2-3 inches long and put a 5/16 i believe wrench on it. Its just hard to get a socket with the allen head in that small space...i could do it with 1/4 inch drive but found the way with the piece of one and a wrench much easier.

 

oh yeah gotcha i can get it down there and have about room for a lil more than a 1/4 turn from the top with my metric 6, pos just isn't the right one haha

 

ill get it first thing in the morning haha my motor and tranny is coming back out anyways stock f23 doesnt like a no lift shift on 16 psi from an s256et

 

alright man i appreciate it, do you even have a wot box hahaha?
