Question Dumb question- Head bolt socket size?

Hey guys sorry for the stupid question but i'm pretty sure it's a allen socket but i'm not sure what size and i'd rather just buy the right socket and not drop 60 bucks on a set.
I've searched and searched and can't find anything on it.

Thank you,
Jabu

12 or 14mm, 12point socket. I just can't for the life of me remember if it's 12 or 14, LOL.

Those sockets were TOTAL crap extremely worthless lol took 'em back and dropped 50 bucks on a decent set of 12point deep-well from sears worked like a charm and it's a 12mm

Thanks guys,
Jabu
