How do you remove the valve cover? I got the spark plug wires out and idk where to go from there. I tried searching but I came up empty handed. Im only 17 and working with my first car and learning more about them so please no mean comments.

While you're at it, look up the torque specs for those nuts, Yes they are around the spark plugs. You do have a torque wrench right? It has to be even or your valve cover will leak. Get yourself a new valve cover gasket before you put it back on, It may pay to use some silicone sealant around the outside aswell, those *S-FE engines are chronic for spilling oil down the back of the engine from the valve cover gasket, even with a new gasket.
Sorry I don't have those torque specs handy, It's been years since I've had one of those engines. -------------------- Mike W
