Default what socket size for head bolts?

I'm trying to remove the head, I was using the 15mm socket. Initially, it was hard to break it, then it felt like the bolt is stripped. Is 15mm the correct size for the cylinder head bolts? THanks

hondas are all 10/12/14/17/19.
although some rod bolt nuts are 13.

if you round off a head bolt... good luck.

If I recall correctly it's either a 6-point 14mm or a 12-point 14mm in later models. NOT 15mm.

Kronn, that's a useful site too. Could be a very nice hybrid resource with all those interchangeable heads...
