Re: Hex key size? (Soon_2b_evil)
Are you referring to the hex plugs on the block? If so, yes, those should all be 14mm (they were on my B18 anyway).
That size hex was tough to find - Craftsman doesn't make one, none of the local auto parts stores had them. http://thetoolwarehouse.net/ has them individually or in sets, as does Snap-On. I got mine from snap-on (saved a few bucks over online ordering by calling the local rep). Seems everyone wants the better part of $10 to ship a socket. Good luck.

or you can just go to Auto Zone and get a set of 12mm, 14mm and 17mm for 1/2"drive for 7.99 (i work at AZ so i know prices by heart)
i have used mine a few times and they hold up really well
much better than spending 20 something dollars for just one when you can get three for less than half of the price.

That's good info. I looked all over the place locally before going to snap-on. Can't remember if that chain of stores is around here or not...
