Hey guys, well, i did it. I tore apart most of the drivers side of the engine...and i cant get the damn valve cover off. its 99% out but its stuck under the hood, seems like the back side of the valve cover is hitting the brake booster, pls dont tell me i have to take that off too ! Any tips on getting this valve cover off??

This is where the cover is hitting the booster, i have everything taked off the drivers side... brake res. power steering res. vacuum lines, plugs, wires everything and it looks like it wants to come off, but its trapped. i will post updated picture today.

Any tips on gettin this thing off? Thanks
 
Remove the driver's side engine mount cross bolt, and lift the motor a little bit on that side. It will tilt the engine to the right, and the cover will slip past the booster.
 
that seems about right. but turning it to the right seems it will make it turn towards the booster and more in the way, but the valve cover does have a weird shape so i dont know. And where exactly is that damn motor mount...
