[Roadsters] Valve cover oil leak....

[ljordan704 at netscape.net]

 It came straight off on my 1600 with stock exhaust manifold. Tap with a rubber mallet, and not sure but there may be a couple of studs in the front, otherwise? screws all around.
You might want to drain the oil though.

Ok. how do you get the oil pan off with the engine in the car?
I removed all the bolts, loosened the gasket,..... and it'll only drop down 
about a half inch!!!??

Do you need to remove the header (which is alsmost resting on the oilpan)? (move 
it to the left?)
It seems to be catching on the oil pump(?), but I can't seem to move it in any 
way to get it past where it catches.....but then there is oil in the pan also, 
so I'm trying not to spill.
I am pulling it apart because it is leaking at the front. I don't see any leaks 
from the front seal or timing chain cover. I was hoping for a quick 
drop/cleanup, and re-install. It isn't working that way!!!

I've got to get this thing on the road real soon (yesterday would have been 
nice). Any help appreciated........

Thanks
Daryl
