To address OP's initial point: The reason it's not in the book as part of the process for removing the transmission is because it's not necessary to do when removing the transmission. Why would it be?

Imagine dropping the trans and looking for the IMS cover on the trans itself.

In this instant I wasn't trolling. What you wrote and how you were asking those questions were alarming to me and pointed in a direction of a person that has very limited understanding how engines work in general. Since you are new to these engines (I was too 3.5 years ago) but not new to wrenching, the best thing to do is read, read and read even more. There is more than enough information on Rennlist and on the rest of the web that you can get a very good idea how these engines are designed (really not that much different than any DOHC engine). Do this before deciding what and how to do it. THEN if you have questions, by all means post them and I or others that are willing to share the information will help you.
