should just be three bolts and it lifts off. two bolts at either end hold the hose retainers to stop the hoses and fuel line to the carb flapping about. should come off easy enough, theres a gasket in there too.

Pretty much as Vart says. Do be careful when putting it back on, as the B14 rocker cover can be easily distorted if overtightened. Check in the green books section to see if there is any info there, might be some torque figures.

Well guys got the cover off and painted the cover and it looks alot better than before..also painted the freshly sanded exhaust pipe too as it has surface rust as result of being parked for ages..
now i managed to clean out and spray some of the filthy cylinder block too as you can see some over spray on hoses which i will clean tommorow
