How difficult is it to get a valve cover off?

9 bolts that are torqued to like 9ft pounds, take off the intake hose...call it a day!


putting it back on is the hard part....if you over tighten the bolts, broken stud. Broken studs which take lots of drilling, easy outing, retaping, jb weld, helicoils and all that crap......


(i had a broken oil pan stud which was this weekends project....not fun!)

I also broke a stud when putting mine back on a while ago, a true bitch to fix! Cover looks good.
