93 12v V6 Head bolt size/type?

[David Vander Schaaf]

Thanks Chris!

That helps me a lot!  I called my friend at my local Audi dealer and his
best guess that it was some kind of reverse Torx socket... he thought it was
an E45.  The E14 sounds more like it, though.  Now I just have to track one
down!

Thanks again!
