The drawing seems to be different to the real head ,as the short studs are under the curved corner Len

They all should be 3/8 BSF (wrench size equal to 5/16 BSW). As a rule all thereads to steel are BSF and to Aluminum are BSW.
See some pictures of studs:

Hello I still have problems with the head I have removed all the head bolts and studs as shown in the photo from Luli ,all except fro the front corner stud as shown it the one photo Ive tried a few times to remove this but screwing two nuts an tightly ,but still the stud would not move
Now all but this front corner stud are out and no other fixings are holding the head on ,but I still cannot budge the head I`ve used a copper headed mallet on the corner I have also placed a jack under the car and a long steel rod against a firm part of the head The jack is now putting pressure on the head ,which I thought would have broken the seal ,but nothing .Has anyone had this sticking problem before,I never have Len

You can try a vis grip with the danger of loosing the stud. If you go this path use a lot of WD40 and some tape. But before that apply a sharp horizontal blow on the opposite side of the head. Use wood block! make sure all the push rods are out
