8v or 16v, yeah you can remove it without damaging it. Just be careful, maybe worth getting a new gasket if your taking it off as you may break/tear the old one of while your pulling the rocker cover off.

the gasket is in Halfords for about £3 IIRC, I replaced mine about 6 months ago cos it was leaking slightly.
Go ahead and do it if you want, don't let the gasket put you off!
