I'm trying to take off the upper intake manifold. My manual shows that you have to take off the cover plate (the one that reads "5.0 HO") to get at some of the bolts. This cover plate has some funky allen bolts holding it on. So that I know what to ask for at the store, what is this type of allen bolt called?

Those are called Torx


And if they have the pin in the center like on the MAF, they are security torx
