Ah, I HATED that bolt. I looked forever trying to find it (12 point torx). I ended up grinding it off with my dremel cut-off wheel. Not easy, but it works. I then just bought a regular bolt to replace it and no more problems.

Just for reference, the heads can be replaced without removing or even lowering the engine on a Boxster. I had my heads off before I removed the engine.
