hey guys,
The screws on my cylinder head cover are rusting so much that its chipping away,
just want to ask should i take it to garage to fix it or should i do it myself as i don't have much tools (halfords 10 quid tool set lol) and if i do it myself what is the torque amount and do i need to change the head cover gasket aswell?
many thanks in advance

If I was doing it i'd do one bolt at a time, old one out new one in. Unless you really want to change the head gasket? Not sure of the torque, but it wont be much, a good nip tight lol
