unclip breather hoses then undo the rocker cover torx bolts. Make sure you replace the gasket and DO NOT overtighten the bolts when putting it back together

Yeah, standard inlet poses a few problems The main one being the fact that you can't get the screws out of the back of the cover, and even of you could, you'd not be able to lift it over the inlet cam

Pics of your engine with Velos inlet Mr Topshot?
