The head bolts are 8mm 12 point, but i only can find 8mm 6 point Where might I find this part?

On the IP delivery valves: I bought 4 new o-rings, but some one said I need some copper washers along with that, Is that true

Hey Nick,

The slide bolt holding the timing chain guide is threaded internally. You should be able to find a small bolt to thread in there and (since it looks to be pretty far out already) pry it out or use a small slide hammer to pull it towards the front of the car. The chain guide, as I recall, can stay in place after that bolt is removed.

Assuming you keep some tension on the chain, you should be able to take off the sprocket. Make a few orientation marks just for back up!

You can rent a delivery valve splined socket at the above link. If you can find member "billybob", he had one I borrowed as well. As for the copper washers, I wouldn't bother. Every one I've ever removed looked like new. The o-rings are the parts that crap out.

NAPA carries a socket that will fit the head bolts. They usually have it in stock at their stores. If you can't find it, and you have a week or so to wait, I can let you use the one I have.

As always, good luck!
