I did a search, but don't see the answer. I guess it's called a 'valve-bank' cover, from what I did find, but how does it attach to the engine? Is it easy to get it off? I just wanted to see what's under it. Thanks.

 

Lift. It'll come right off.

I tried that, but I guess I didn't want to break anything, so it was a wimpy lift. Thank you.

 

It's pretty durable - you'll see when you get it off. Just give it a good yank.

Are you sure there isnt any clips cos i too cannot seem to get it off.

 

There are 3 attachment points. You dont need any tools to get the cover off.

There are two points at the front, which are a ball and socket type, with the socket on the underside of the cover. The socket is rubber lined, so just apply upward pressure and it will release of the ball. You will notice the cover flex quite a bit tho. If possible, try to push up from the underside near where it starts to flex.

The rear clip is a spring metal fitting which is located in the middle of the rearmost part of the cover. When you get the front released, the cover will pivot around this clip. Again apply pressure from underneath and it will release its grip.

 

thanks! now i can finally show you guys the 2IS300 engine!!!

 

do i lift from the front? meaning is the first step lifting up from the side closest to the grill of the car?

 

Seriously man its not rocket science here just man up and yank the damn thing off......

 

^^haha thats what i was thinking!

 

Yeah it's pretty easy to remove...they arent even held on by hard-to-remove clips

 

lol this thread is funny....just grab it by each side and PULL...it WILL come off.

 

Pull it up dude.pull on bottom middle and upper left and right.Doesnt get any easier than that
