Maybe a dumb question

This may seem like a dumb question, but what size are the head bolts on a 85 6.9? I dont have any 12 point sockets big enough so I will have to go buy one and I just want to make sure I get it right. Thanks

Take it off both manifolds at the same time.
Much easier that fighting it with the drivers side bolted up and the pipe going to the back supporting the other end.
