How do I remove valve cover?

[lvnltlv115]

I want to remove the valve cover on my 1993:ummm: to paint it and I am just wondering if there is a trick to getting it out? Doesnt want to clear lifters. do I have to lower engine?

I just took mine off to get chromed. It wasn't to hard to get off, but I'm thinking it's gonna be a real PITA to get back on.

Doable just be patient. Don't hesitate to pull all those plastic shields/covers plus it is a good time to clean that stuff. Have you got your mind set on paint? Why not powder coated ? But that is your choice. I have them on hand for exchange or sale outright if interested. Powdercoated won't get scratched up as easily when reinstalling. Ask Ninjaneer or Captain Kyle about my parts.

I'll vouch for PATMAX's motorcycle parts. As for his other parts, sorry, I can't. Cap? :rofl_200:
