I've gotta re-torque the head / change the oil on my t25 td
Can I get away with using Allen keys?
Also I get a judder when accelerating especially from low speed upwards. I this just an 80's t25 thing, or is there a problem?
Any advice appreciated

How are you going to measure the torque then with the allen keys?

Therein lies the result of a paucity of details in your post. Why not give all information from the outset? The proper tool on a ratchet is the obvious way of doing it - I don't know what sort of allen key you are envisaging!
Do you want to 'get away with it' or do the job properly?

What head are the head bolts?
A T55 star bit fits both the 12 point and the 6 point ones.

Thanks!
Never taken the head cover off
This is new territory for me so a little nervous with doing it.
