   there just bolts that attach the rocker on and not bolts, theres a stud that goes into the actual head so you will need a new one, im not sure if there like manifold studs, ie threaded on both sides, think they are though, but do not drive it mate, oil will be all over, you will probablies need to buy the stud and a bolt ask citroen if the stud is part of the head ot if there just a stud

   will most probably be just a stuf screwed into the head! unscrew the other side and take the rocker cover back off and see if theres any of the thread still sticking out if there is get a pair of molegrips or plillers on it
