I know the rear one can, its the one directly behind the distributor I really need to know about. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | Should come off easy. If you can see all the bolts you should be fine. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 426 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 426 | But will the front one remove w/o taking out the distributor? It sits right in front of it. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 841 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 841 | i don't think it sits against it, so it sould come off w/out removing the dist. i didn't think even the hei would block it, a points dist is even smaller. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,215 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,215 | Yes it will come off. They are a little hard to get back in with sealer on it, but it can be done with out to much trouble. Glue the gaskets to the covers and let them dry for a bit before installing them, that way you are only dealing with one slippery side at a time.

Ive got a small leak in the corner and need to replace it, but hate to disrupt my timing if I don't have to. It looked awful tight, so I figured I'd ask the pros before i started. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,215 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 5,215 | If you can get the area really clean and dry, this will seal it, http://www.permatex.com/brand_right_stuff.htmOnce on and dry, you will bend the covers getting them off, its that good!
