  • Seized Valve Covers

    I'm down to my valve covers, all fasteners are off, but they are seized on. Should i tap it with a block of wood and rubber mallet? any other suggestions, i tried a heat gun, it helped a little. any safe suggestions welcome. thanks

    Tap them w/ a mallet or pry them off GENTLY with a crowbar. Sometimes they really stay stuck on there because of the cork type gasket, good luck! [img]smile.gif[/img]

      a nice hack with a mallet will work rather nicely.
