  Measure the holes?  I know if it has the small oil return holes then 
it's a 1.5 but you can have an 81 which has large returns with 11mm 
bolt holes.  I'd just use a caliper and measure the holes.  Should be 
able to scrounge up an old 12mm stretch bolt from someone since 
they're a one time use item.  If it fits then it's a 12mm head.  If it's 
really tight or won't go in, it's an 11mm!  ;-)
