Can I just remove, clean and reseal the covers with out doing the rest to get by until I go whole hog on the IMS, tenshioners, guides, solenoids, etc? Is there any help besides the Pelican Parts DIY project where the entire camshafts are removed?
To remove the covers, which are also one half of the cam bearing saddles, you need special cam holding tooling to prevent breaking the cams when you remove the cover. If you don’t have the tools or required knowledge, take it to someone that does.
