[QUOTE="mrose75, post: 12963924, member: 7655"] OK, I used this guide and went the brake booster route to get my Valve Covers off. And it worked fine when done in order. Somehow alcohol helps to distort the order in which things should be done.....who knew? Anyhow, I went ahead and did the engine mount method on reassembly and it's [COLOR="Red"][B]WAAAAYYYYY[/B][/COLOR] easier. Be sure to loosen the dipstick and anything else that my be binding.... With help from member xchamp I got it done. He sent me some pics of how he did it and then I took some pics, because that's the only reason I didn't go that route from the beginning was lack of pics. So he's my contribution to the forum. Thanks again to xchamp. Here is what it looked like with the engine jacked up: [ATTACH=full]451976[/ATTACH] This is a shot of the engine mount nut loosened to the end of the threads: [ATTACH=full]451977[/ATTACH] This is a shot of the 2 X 4 on the engine block. You can see the engine mount bolt in the background near the steering colum: [ATTACH=full]451978[/ATTACH] Where to place the 2 x 4, between these two bolts. [ATTACH=full]451979[/ATTACH] Here's yet another shot showing the wood placed between the clutch cable and the oil pan: [ATTACH=full]451980[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
