Removing Stubborn Valve Covers
I've got everything cleared away and have removed all the nuts holding the valve covers on and the covers will not budge. I don't want to use too much brute force for fear or warping or marring a surface that needs a good seal.
Any advise for removing covers that don't want to budge?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

I tapped mine with a rubber mallet from the side. Also put my fingers into the spark plug holes and gave it a good tug. Just try to show some patience, they will come off.
As a last resort try mallet + pulling + foul language. That should be the clincher.

Porsche issued a Technical Bulletin on this. I think it was TBf%$£it.
It clearly specifies the appropriate, updated foul language to use when removing valve covers.
I know this sounds obvious, but make sure you are using METRIC foul language - the IMPERIAL swear words don't quite work!
PS
Just smash the f^&8ing Sh*& out of those litlle Fu&^ers with the F*&king rubber mallet!

I was using lots of "Fornicating Under Consent of the King" which is obviously Imperial.
Time to change to something that begins with Stuttgart...
