I have a T25 torx bit, what's the non tamper?

I have a T25 torx bit, what's the non tamper?

There is a little indent for the center plug on the tamper resistant torx heads. It would prevent a regular Torx bit from going in.

As for the cleaning, did not resolve my issues.

I'm still convinced that it is related to the exhaust work and O2 sensor relocation. Still only a cold start issue.
