I need to take off my heat exchangers to get to my valve covers to change the gasket because it seems to be leaking.

Where does one get the long Allen head tool that fits into the heat exchanger canals to remove the exhaust bolt nuts?

Also, are they 10mm or what?

Thanks.

I believe 5/16th is also very close to 8mm, close enough anyway, and may be easier to source. That's what I have.


That's a great idea.

I had to make a 10mm allen key socket to take change out my starter. I cut an imperial allen key that was practically the same as 10mm and stuck it into a 10mm socket and that worked like a charm.

Suppose I could do the same with 8mm and 5/16th combo. Just hack apart a long allen key.
