Hello everyone! I’ma just keep it short and simple, I cannot get my valve cover off. The cam shaft (I believe it’s called) stops the back end from lifting, and it’s a tab on the right side of the valve cover that hit a metal pipe when lifting from the front (before I realized it was hitting the pipe I created a dent and the pipe doesn’t move and I don’t want to bend it). Thank you in advance for any suggestions/advice on how to get this thing off.

I circled were the plastic tab was hitting the pipe
.😐.

 

I'll try and dig through my memory bank, its been a year or so since i had mine off. I remember they took some fiddling to get out but in the end wasn't to bad, and maybe there is something different between the 15 and 18

 

Greatly appreciated
