what size are the allen key that holds this down? i dont have one big enough so i need the size to buy one, short of trying them in the parking lot

Don't have my tool with me, but I'm pretty sure it's a 14mm

Correct btwilson86, it just so happens to be the same hex size as the engine sump drain plug, but obviously internal instead of external.

I think your probably thinking of the 6mm x 12off cam cover screw with the Philips heads, the post is referring the valley cover which is located between the cams covers, its where the spark plugs leads (wires) run.
