valve cover removal

[Carmods@aol.com]

Here's a tip,
 
Once you get the right valve cover off, hammer the sheet metal up that  hangs 
over the valve cover for more clearance. If you are aggressive you can  gain 
about 1/2 inch which helps a lot. You can touch up any paint you damage and  
it won't show an since it is hidden by the valve cover.
 
Another bit of information, if you have a 302 with the larger stamped  
rockers, it's much harder to get the right cover off so plan  on removing the 
right 
engine mount.
