Default ASAP driver side valve cover.
In the process of installing cams, and I can't get the driver side valve cover off by any means. I'm out of ideas besides taking off the brake booster but that seems like way too much work. Any input is great!

I got the passenger side out just by moving the condenser over a little bit, and moving the fill tube a bit. the driver side I feel like im so close but its catching on the farthest part of the cam

with my magnesium covers we were able to twist them a little to clear the rear. with the coils and injectors gone it should be easy to remove. keep working it.

Yeah my phone is on top of my toolbox and I had it on vibrate. What did you use for disconnecting the fuel line?
