90 Mustang 2.3 head bolt socket size

I just managed to get to the final stage of removing the head from my 1990 Mustang 2.3 only to find I did not have a socket to fit. Before I guess on size to buy I was hoping someone might know the proper type and size of socket to use.

Thanks

IF it is the same as the older ones it is a 12mm 12point socket. KB

I just picked a 12mm/12 point socket and it seems to small and my 14mm/12 point is too big so I guess I will get a 13mm /12 point and hope for the best. I could not get a 1/2" drive 12mm/ 12 point as the smallest in 1/2" drive was 13mm which probably should have been my clue to pick up a 13mm as well.

So I have to wait another day to see why #3 cyl is dead.

Thanks
