lifter valley cover? Do you mean the lifter trays or the valley cover? There are only connectors (knock sensors) in the valley cover. All you have to do is get some long needle nose pliers or something of the sort and squeeze the plastic top so that they release. Then just unthread the knock sensors. As for the lifter trays, just unbolt them.

Yeah.... I have not been able to access the site, too.

I am in the last stages of my cam install and was looking to go over the write up again. Luckily I have read the Cam/Valve Spring Install write-up a thousand times.

Only need to re-install the front cover and balancer then I can get the headers started.

Lifters are under the heads. Not sure where in MD you are but if you need some help I'm around the area.

i hope it's up soon, after this little incident, i'm reluctant to continue yanking things blindly.
