star socket size for heads?

Does anybody know the star size for the head bolts on a '89 2.9? All I know is that its bigger than the 50 I have. Should I buy new head bolts for re-assembly?

Finally got down to where I can get to the head bolts, cursing the wires, hoses, double/triple layered brackets and rear distributor the whole way!

T55. Most parts stores have the bolts. New bolts are good. Keep your push rods, etc. in the same place.

A word to the wise. Make sure you get a GOOD QUALITY T55 I rebuilt my engine 6 months ago and broke my cheap T55. I recomend either a Crafsman or a Snap-On.
