Valve Cover Removal

Looking to adjust the valves. Is there enough room to pull the valve cover, or do you have to do something special? Doesn't look like there is enough room above the cover in the back.

it will go, but you will curse and swear until you figure out the right angles!

you can also cut out some insulation above it to make it easier. also, clean the surrounding area good and knock off any loose debris in the nearby vicinity - you don't want to knock it off and have it fall into the head!

Iirc you rock it to the passenger side and slide all the way out forward. Don't worry about the firewall you won't hurt it.

It's a toss up to roll it over to the passenger or drivers side and slide it out.

I find it easier personally to roll it onto the drivers side and slide it towards the front of the truck. It doesn't look like it, but there is enough room.

It's real easy, takes about 5 minutes to get off the bolts and have it on the ground.

In rolling it toward the passinger side, does the turbo get in the way? I sounds like I won't have to take anything else apart to remove it.
