I think I’m not level coming up, Last one I did just popped up, but that was years ago. I didn’t find a lot of documentation on this here, so that will get fixed , too.

Erik has pointed out that the cams should come up with the cover so I will wire them up and use my cam tool In the rear as a lock/ handle.

Hoping someone will save me having to buy the $100 cam cover pliers - but there is always the MVS tool program, worst case.

Chisel edge as a wedge not as a pry bar and Tack hammer (Low mass). Just keep in mind the objective is to split the liquid gasket not pry the cover off.

I opened the front door to snooty cold rain but caught the draft of fear from the Volvo a few doors away

It knew it would yield to my efforts if I could conquer the weather

Ten minutes later the idiocy was conquered.

+1 to the 3/8" or 1/2" drive idea, I always use extensions. Once 3/8" leaves too much of a gap, I go to 1/2". Just twist and pry on those spots and it should eventually work its way up.

Haha, every time I pull one of these, there's always that one bolt that I miss!

You have to admire the confidence of a guy who wrenches in a white shirt. . .

Very good point Evan!

Nice job Steve. And I'm sure you bought the Costco size bottle of bleach, right? Btw, you fit right into the surroundings with that shirt. Winter Camouflage so to speak

My fingers and heart were warmed by the screech of the yielding head bolts -

These things were up around 200 ft lb of torque to break them. Brothers and Sisters, get your sharp socket, six point, on WELL before pulling on these. How will I ever measure 130 degrees of angle torque, he wonders?
