its a 14mm socket, not a hexigon 1 but a 12 spline one (if that makes sense to ya)

undo in this order.

3 1 6
5 2 4

that is as if your looking at the bolts

good luck, hope you get it sorted

yes its so it loosens evenly. as for the valves, im not sure i never touched mine as it had a topend rebuild late 2005. the buckets lift off and there is a little magnet the size of a watch battery sat on top of the valve spring. thats as far as i got
