Default Head bolt size

Got a couple head bolts rounded.. Not at home right now, at work, and a guy is going to let me borrow something to get it out with. Just need to know what size it is. Think it's a 9/16 but can't remember for sure.

Guarantee its not a 9/16 as nothing on your Honda is standard size. I'm not for certain as this is just off the top of my head but I think they are 14s. Basically everything except for a few oddballs on Hondas are either 8 10 12 14 or 17l

I would get an OEM bolt.

Many aftermarket bolts may not be correct strength. If you get a purposed "head bolt" you should be OK.

I also recollect 14mm socket size bolt. Bolt size from manual is 12mm x 1.25mm, so may be larger than 14mm socket size.

good luck

No I just had a judgement lapse, knew it ended in 6, but come to think of it my socket for the axle nut is a big bigger than 26 lol. Thanks for squaring me away guys.
