Sorry little one. Take some pics and get them up so the clever ones can make a proper guesstimate for you.

When I was seconded to technical service. I received a very strange call from a dealer.

We have just opened your new manual for the 680 engine ( goes back to the dark age) and notice the head studs are 12mm. We have just fitted new studs and stripped the block. when we mic'd up the old studs the were 1/2".

Turned out tech pubs had gone metric and somebody had written nearest equivalents.
