hey I was wondering if anyone knows if I have to remove the AIR valve on the driver side header to take off the valve cover? Its stuck on there tight and very limited space.

adjusting my lifters btw. ticking has been driving me crazy and I feel that's the reason im getting bad mpg and exhaust in my vents?haha

Big ol' 7/8" open end wrench is what I use. You might need to use some penetrant and do it while it is still warm. I use anti-seize on the threads when reinstalling.

nevermind. figured it out. I disconnected the valve thing and just hammered the steel hose a little towards the driver side. the valve cover came right out

yeah I tired the wrench thing. no luck. that thing was on tight! 20 years of not being removed.
