It's the smaller of the two sparkplug sockets you will have on offer to you.

it's the 14 i think. o aye the rocker cover gasket can sometimes interfere with the socket sliding into the head

did you get your injector seals sorted?

It was a 16.. I got 3 of them out and changed ok but the fourth was a right pain to get out and when i finally managed to prise it out, the little top hat on the end of the injector which the real sits in was missing so i'm assuming its in the head :s so i've taken the spark plug out to try and fish it out with a magnet and in the meanwhile i've ordered a new set of merc injectors.. So no it didn't go ok ha..

If you cant see it, It might be sitting on top of a valve. Taking off the bottom half of inlet manifold will give you access to get at it. Id a similar experience.
