I'm trying to change the valve cover gasket, but I'm having a hell of a time getting the cover off. The thing's been slooowly leaking oil, and that's all been building up and creating an adhesive layer. On the 7a, there's just the four acorn nuts that hold the cover on right? I feel like I'm missing something because this thing isn't budging. I tried using c-clamps on the left edge and pulling up, but no luck. Any advice?
