Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello, I am getting ready for a big job and one thing I am really not looking forward to is removing the valve covers / cam covers as I've heard I (might) need to remove the headers. I have PTSD from snapped studs and just don't even want to bother TBH Can anyone please confirm or deny that it is possible to remove BOTH valve covers without removing headers? After 100's of pictures, I can only find these 2 pics below to convince myself its possible Thanks,
Tis possible.... Also just do one side at a time making sure engiine is in the right place so the cams have no valve spring tension/pressure making them want to roll......and mark "everything" with nail polish dabs in your own places to also keep track of original postions....
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
