I am having problems removing the valve cover Front on a 2000 GTP. The Left, pax side, engine bracket is in the way and I am not sure best way to remove and if I need special tools? ALso going to replace the back VC gasket too so and help on getting that one would be nice.

ok got the tensioner off 13mm. then had to take the battery out so the bracket would slide out of the way.

Got the Valve cover off cleaned everything off and found, at the top of the cover where it molded around the fuel injectors, the material is thin and brittle. This has got to be why it is leaking again. There are rub marks where the injector sits too.

gonna have to get it good enough until I can get new covers. local auto parts don't have them.

Any body know a good place to get replacements that are not overly expensive?

Ya, the fiberglass covers are pretty brittle. When I swapped my rockers I noticed that I was chipping the paper thin edges of the covers. I bought ZZP aluminum valve covers on black friday! Half off
