I removed the brake booster from the master cylinder and just sat it up out the way. There was no my valve cover would come off with out doing that. Now that I have it bolted back up though, my brake pedal is stuck.
sorry yes you would basically remove the driver engine mount to be able to lower that side of the engine. I will be doing this in a month so I will post pics.
For the life of my, I could not figure out how to unplug the connector that goes into the side of the Master cylinder reservoir, so I left it plugged it. It made it a tad more difficult because it took up valuable space where moving the valve cover, but I managed. I’m sure I put an extra strain on it by pushing and pulling up against it. If anyone knows how to unplug it, please feel free to tell me and I will add it to this write up. Reference the above pic of the master cylinder for a clear view of the top, but here are some pics of the bottom. (I had to wait til I got the valve cover off before I snapped these pics.)
That looks exhausting, but to each their own. Just in my experience of doing 2 both ways, it is so much quicker and easier to remove engine mount nut, take 2x4 and jack up transmission so driver side comes up and then loosen the nut on the dipstick and cover comes out and goes back pretty easily.
Might be a dumb question, but I am going to be doing this in the next couple weeks and removing the brake booster (which is what we did when we pulled the motor), I don't need to bleed the brakes correct?
i wanna do this but i wanna use hi temp paint. i have no experience with powdercoating.
Why not
^personally I like to work less. So doing it both ways now. I will always remove driver side nut on engine mount and loosen dipstick and jack engine rather than remove booster. That is such a pain in the ass. I dont have big hands but damn you need tiny fingers to get the bolt under the dash.
