OK I am embarrassed to ask this question but...
I need to remove the Cam Cover. All hex bolts are out. Do I need to remove the plugs, and as per the picture do I need to remove the 4 X M10 nuts, or are they holding something underneath onto the Cam Cover.
It looks like the gasket is sealant and not a true gasket. Any recommendations for sealant when I re-fit.

yes for the bolts and the plugs I think .

I used a gasket as I don't like the sealant but it is the recommended route.

The nuts under the black cover (from memory there are 6) have to come off but the actual spark plugs do not.
I leave the plugs in as they stop anything falling into the cylinders.

The cover is sealed with RTV sealant.

Before reassembly make sure that all the old stuff is removed and everything is clean.
