You dont need to take the hydroboost off. Just remove the drivers side motor mount and jack up that side of the engine.. Believe it or not you'll 'roll' the valve cover out. Takes some time but you'll get it

Ok even better. Do I need to disconnect anything else? Trans cross member to give it some extra play or the motormount is good? And how is it getting the new one back on, I dont wanna cut up the gasket on the sharp edges on the head? Thanks Kevin.

No you can leave everything else on. You might need to take a couple little things off when your in there. The new valve cover will go on easier then the old. Check the gasket to make sure you didn't cut it before you lock her down. Don't sweat it, when you get done you'll say oh that's easy

Kelly I'll take mike and the red dresser any day!
