To remove the valve cover on a 2014 Chevy Cruze, you'll need a special E10 socket for the M6x30 bolts with an E10 external torx head. Be cautious when tightening them as these bolts can be fragile and prone to breaking off in the cylinder head. This often requires specialized tools for extraction, and may necessitate re-tapping the hole to a larger size. Another option is to drill out the hole and insert a Helix coil to accommodate the same size bolt. I personally wouldn't attempt this myself, but would have a mechanic or machinist handle it.
In 2014, the bolt size for the valve cover of the Chevy Cruze was 12.5 millimeters.
