how to remove the valve cover ?
thanks bud. what time is where you live now ? cause my is 8am and it on sunday, hell I support to be still sleep, this question bother me since last night, I want to see if my engine sludge or not, just wonder is LT1 easy to get sludge ? thanks
If the oil has been changed pretty regularly and maintenance has been done in regular intervals, the sludge probably won't be a big problem if there is any at all. I had to pull a valve cover off my '93 with 115K miles and it looked like a new head under the cover...was in very good shape sludge wise. The valve springs are probably weak and things could probably use a freshening up, which I will do when I do the cam swap and head work, but overall I was surprised at how clean it looked under there.
If he just wants to see if there is sludge or look at the condition of the heads by eye, just pulling the driver's one should be ok...unless he's checking for broken valve springs, rockers, etc. But yes, if pulling both, alt. on pass. side needs to come off.
