Hey

Ok hears the story, I have to take the timing cover/housing, the part that holds the chain guides and has the oil cap in it. I've removed the 8 bolts that hold it to the cam towers, the 3 studs that are attached to the water pump, the 4 random bolts on the inside near the bottom, and the 4 bolts under the lower mount that also hold the oil pan. Am I missing anything cause the $@% sucker wont come off, I searched most of the afternoon for a hidden nut or bolt but couldn't find anything that may be holding it on. Any tips, tricks, or info would be a huge help.

lol, im in the same boat.. you have all the bolts off.. but its gonna have to be lightly pounded off.. I gave up for the night.. Will try again tomorrow.

How about the bolt/stud that used to hold the tensioner shoe on? That's gotta come out too.

Well I got it off, turns out I missed a bolt, guess which one. The bolt/stud that John just mentioned Haha well I guess I can get the head off now

Are you serious? lol, that bolt holds it on as well? Shiaat lol.. Ok, back out to the garage..............to take my head off as well
