Removing the camcover?

[Leadfoot]

Any tips, 'cos I can't shift mine.

I've removed all of the allen head bolts around the circumference & the 6 nuts in the centre - but it wont budge, even with a lot of persuasion.

To answer my own question:

I put the 6 nuts back on by a few threads, leaving them proud of the cam cover.

Then I put the plug lead cover back on (now resting on the nuts instead of the cover), put the 3 allen bolts in that hold it down onto the cover, took a brave pill & wound them down into TVRs finest ally casting - jacking the cover up in the process.

Result was the satisfying sound of the seal breaking, rather than the 3 stripped threads that I was expecting.

....next time try removing all fixings and take a RUBBER hammer and wack the high side corner at the front. After a few blows you will hear it change pitch and 'hey presto' time to clean silicon off.

......I was trying that with a deadblow hammer (RUBBER mallet filled with lead shot).

Didn't budge.
