If you have a DI cassette you will nee to remove it to access all the Valve cover bolts. There is a mirriad of torx screws which hold the valve cover in place. I cannot remember, but it could be as many as 16. Depending on the state of your valve cover gasket, you run a small chance that when you remove the valve cover (VC from now on), the gasket is brittle and breaks. Again, this depends a lot on many factors. Mine was pristine when I remove my VC last weekend, so this was not an issue for me. There are a couple of troublesome areas when removing the VC: The hook which holds the oil tube (where you pour your oil) is bolted to the VC and makes things harder than necessary. You might have to remove it. Other than that, the oil line (metal) that runs along the left hand side of the VC (if you are standing in front of the car) will need to be unbolted from the VC to access a couple more bolts.
It is extremely straight forward and simple. You will need the right T-torx screwdriver or socket and a little patience. If the VC gasket is in good shape, then this job is SUPER easy. This might be an excellent time to retorque your headbolts if you have not done so. That, of course, is another story and if you chose to tighten those, read a little on the matter as you will need special tools (such as an E torx and a torque wrench).
