I have removed all the bolts on the valve cover but the cover will not come off. Am I missing something? Don't want to pry on it for fear of breaking the cover.
Thanks for any help.

You've removed the ones down the center of the valve cover? 10 bolts in total?

Yes, all 10 bolts. When trying to lift up on the cover the engine moves a little. It's extremly tight but leaking. I doubt if its been removed since new.

Yea once you get it loose you really shouldn't have to pry very hard to get it up.... I can't recall on that one but look at the plug tubes and make sure there isn't any big nuts on the tubes. I don't believe there are but it's been a while since I've had one off....
