    Hi Chris,
    Those nuts cost ~20 ea from the dealer!!!! and I`m sure the studs are a
    special alloy as well....on my 89 ...12mm six point....Grind the wall down
    of a closed end long wrench, .... and the height if need be. Think the
    torque spec is 45 lbft
    Get the sealing gasket ring and get a shop to check the flatness of the
    manifold , head side.
