This is a simple job, and i will also give you a tip along the way, Remove the 4 plug leads, mark them so as not to mix them up, you will see 4 large hex nuts undo these and the rocker cover will lift off, now the hint, the spark plug tubes on these engines do come loose and let oil into the plug chamber, so re fit 2 nuts to the tube and lock them together (do one up against the other, then you can check that the tube is not loose by carefully re tightening the tube using the upper nut, to remove the nuts, hold the lower one and undo the top, then both will undo, check all tubes.
