Make sure it is single hex not twelve point. Impact sockets are good for head bolts.

Buy a set of af sockets n spammers, it's all AF other than the EFI which is Bosch so it's in metric.

I thought you worked for a living?
Don't think there would much metric stuff on a Series II. Do Halfrauds do any proper spanner sizes other than metric?
OK.

Unfortunately Halfrauds pretty much only do 12 point these days. It is "the trend" apparently. Hence why I had to buy a single socket after the first (Halfords one) split trying to undo a head bolt!
Never seen Whitworth or BSF in there.
Don't buy one borrow mine. I bought a standard and deep Teng impact socket for the same job a few months ago and you're welcome to borrow them.
I found pretty much everything was imperial on the engine as far back as the exhaust headers, and then the rest of the car was metric. I just have a Halfords professional socket set, and the imperial sockets that came with that were all I needed.
You need quite a long and slim bi-hex for the rocker covers IIRC. I can't remember the size I'm afraid.
