Removing Front Oil Cover (SR20)

[MrFairlady]

Maybe I'm missing something but what all Hidden bolts am I forgetting.

I've removed the oil Pan (installing new Greddy pan) & UPPER pan and the 2-4 hidden bolts under all that.

I see 2 bolts under the valve cover (under the cam heads) - 1 I can access but You have to remove the cam (driverside) to get the other out???

Help - Thanks.

FSM shows you putting it on but not where ALL the bolts are for some reason.I'm thinking its just on there REALLY tight - though I think leaking somewhere.I want to re-seal it all!

The two under the cams have to come out, no other way.

You can get the top two out without removing the cams.

Gotta get creative with your wrenches.


IIRC: The last one Id id, I actually used one of my fancy swivle sockets from harbor freight...not just a universal, but it's a universal socket in itself, with the socket in the end of it. Super compact and a great angle of attack persay...once you get it loosended, you should be able to remove it by hand.
