Sorry....more information.
The valve cover is "welded/glued" to the head. It is the passenger side. I would think this would be the PITA side. I don't see a way to get a pry bar in. Did not want to break the valve cover. Looks like every step will be a pain. I have not even begun to start...
I am using a small rubber mallet. Can't get a good angle to hit it.
