Yes the early ones have two 7mm allen barrel nuts and the later ones have a single star bolt. Why do you want to know? There is nothing wrong with the early type as long as they are tight - the torque from the factory was incorrect it was far too low. If you tighten them up, like i have done with a far few you will not have any problems.

lol, this is how I used to tighten the cylinder head studs on my first 50cc motorcycles very long ago...just a tad before snapping. I will try to look for the Nm torque setting on the Peugeot/Citroen French sites, and will leave it here if I find it.
I definitely have to take a look and see if this undercompensation is related with a leak or not, since I have a big trip next month, and would not like to make it with a leaky injector.
Thanks!
Luis
