Default gasket replacement


hi everyone,
my '93 SOHC SC1 has an oil leak. it seems to be coming from one of the gaskets. i'm not sure exactly what its called though. its the one between the upper most part of the engine(where its says EFI/SOHC on top) and the part just below it where the spark plugs go in. i'm not sure if the part is called the upper intake, or cylinder head or what. anyway, there are 2 big black bolts with what looks like a star head on the top of the engine. if i take these two bolt out will the top part of the engine come off so i can change the gasket or is there more to it than that?
thanks

that piece is called "cam cover" and you can remove it without any dire consequences.....the bolts are called torx head bolts and i think they are a t40 but i am not for sure been a while since i have done a sohc engine
