Anyone happen to know offhand what size mm socket I'll need for the bolts securing the rocker covers (valve covers)? I'm ordering new gaskets and wanted to find out the if the spark plug tube seals are separate from the cover and can be replaced individually like later model year covers. Hopefully the answer is yes so I can replace those as well.

The FSM very clearly instructs a 2 stage torque of 2.0 Nm and then 8.3 Nm (18 inch-lbs and 73 inch-lbs) for these bolts.
