manifold socket size

[BobCarter]

I got the valves adjusted today and the plugs put in. Tomorrow I'm going to grind down the exhaust manifold and clean/adjust the carbs. I dont have the right socket though for the exhaust manifold allens. What size is it. 06 600

[squiggy]

I'm going off memory here, but I believe it's 6mm. And you need an extra long Allen head.

Yeah , M6 . Get yourself an M6 socket and extension to make it easier . Them bolts are often REALLY on there .

Go slow, use penetrating oil and switch back and forth: loosen a little, tighten, loosen a little, spray with penetrating oil, tighten a little, looosen.

They tend to either break, or strip threads if you arent careful. Go slow and you will be okay.
