Need help quick! head bolt torx?

[TopOfTheLine89]

There is a 325i at a junkyard near me, i have a 325e so i would like to pull the head from the 325i so i can get its camshaft and valve springs. The head bolts are torx though and i wonder what i should use to get them out? i went to 3 hardware stores and none of them had a socket that goes over the torx head of the head bolts?

Just did some searching, who sells inverted torx sockets? i need some really bad so i can grab my parts before they crush the car.

Sears, Harbor Freight, Snap-On...

Hi. I use a good solid 10m or 11m (cant remember which now, but i think 11mm), 6 sided hex socket. I probably wouldnt recommend using that to torque headbolts, but for removal it's fine. Same on transmission. for those smaller ones use 8mm 6 sided hex socket.

:roll:

... I mean, you need the right sockets to put it back on anyway, right?

Not really, i just need to gank the camshaft and valve springs off a junkyard car.

Sears FTW, just picked up a set of inverted torx, sorry i about had a noob atack, just the first 2 hardware stores i went to acted like the inverted torx didn't exist.
