sooo im installing my cams right now, just got everything lined up with TDC and got all of the bolts loose for the cam cover... but the cam cover WON'T COME OFF

any advice? besides KEEP PULLING...? its stuck on there pretty well it wont even budge

 

Idk what a cam cover is...

I'm assuming you mean the cam caps. Un bolt them and get a rubber mallet and tap the sides if them and they will come off. Also be sure to keep the caps in the order you take them off. There's a reason they have arrows on them

 

Are you sure you got all the bolts out??

Inner ones too??

Anyway, if you are certain, you can take a prybar with a light twisting action to get the seal to slowly come apart. If you use too much force you may crack it.

 

got it! just had to have someone help me we pulled REALLLLY hard and it came off lol

 

3 taps with a mallet woulda saved you from having to go into Hulk mode

 

U have to remove it when it's hot.

 

Lol

 

Yeah, just make sure you have oven mits on

 

If you're talking about the cam gear cover there should be 4 bolts, the bottom ones are quite hard to get off, so you might have missed one. Also the plastic seals may have melted and become stuck over time, so just pry it off with a bit more force. If it breaks, just get a zacklee clear cam cover!
