    3-1 pulley bolt size?

    I'm in the middle of changing the timing belt. I'm takin off the 6 bolts that bolt the 3-1 pulley and disk to the crankshaft (I believe this is correct) and I read on the writeup on e30tech.com that the bolts were 12mm. We couldnt get 12's to go on, so we tried 13mm and on the first one it worked. Havent tried the other ones yet, but the 13mm worked. Is everybody's 13mm? Or is mine really weird?

    Will
