Rocker cover removal ABF

Post by daveyg »

Morning chaps

Had a go at getting my rocker cover off last night on my ABF engine so i could paint it up. There are 6 nuts that hold it down which i removed however it still wont shift. Am i missing something here?? :help:

Does it just need a bit of pressure applied or are there some other screws/fixings that i am missing?

Any help would be appreciated

Two in the middle as well - did you spot those? I think there are 8 or 10 in all, although it's been a while since I dabbled with a 16v lump.
