Default what head bolts to use?

I have AFR 190 heads. I see in the summit catalog that the head bolts are listed for particular heads. Is there a certain type I should be looking for or will any head bolt work? :confused: :cheers:

a 12 point (instead of the reg. 6point) kit will work best. the only problem is its very close to the valve springs on one or two of the holes, thats why you should use the 12 point bolts, it lets you use a regular thin wall socket.
