Removing Stubborn Valve Covers

bucky
17 years ago

The valve covers on the 390 in my old 66 TBird are looking pretty shabby so I thought I'd remove and paint them. I've found that the covers were installed with gasket goop on both the cover and block sides of the gaskets. They are really stuck tight. I don't want to damage or bend the covers as they are original and not easy to come by and expensive. I've tried prying them loose and tapping with a rubber mallet but they won't budge. If anyone on the list has a suggestion or two on how to get these things off without bending them I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks
