Xantia 1994 2.0i Headbolts : What size Torx tool ?

Have tested integrity of head gasket by running tube from Coolant reservior into passenger compartment, so that it discharges through water in a bottle. The formation of small bubbles confirmed suspicion of pinhole leak from combustion chamber to cooling system.
The head is retained by large Torxhead bolts. To get access for measuring a socket so as to buy the right size tool, the cam cover must off be taken !
Can anyone pass on the size of Torx tool required for turning the head bolts on a 1994 2.0i Xantia ?

Not sure about petrol variants but diesel head bolts are T55, I would think they would be the same.

Thanks David,
Sounds about right. The 50 looked too small.
