Valve Cover Removal?
Anyone got some tips on removing 40 year old valve covers without damaging them? Thought I'd ask here before I did something that I would regret.

better be careful. take a very thin putty knife and a hammer. use the putty knife as a chisel and hammer it carefully between the cover and the head. go all around the cover and then take it of. be careful not to damage inside the had. so don't put the knife to far in the gap between head and cover. you also might have a lot of gasket debris in your head after that. use an old vacuum cleaner to get all the **** out of the head.
good luck and have fun. [This message has been edited by stingray (edited 09-08-2000).]
