How do I get the 2 lines off of the valve cover, the ones that are facing the firewall, one of them goes to the intake the other one goes to...

 

The steel braided ones? For the one in the center you need a fuel line disconnect tool, most automotive stores should carry it. As for the one on the side its pretty much impossible unless you want to damage it.

 

Somebody on here got it off using two small flatblade screwdrives that he bent the ends on. I don't remember who that was, though. It was the vent line coming from the turbo.

 

I remember that post but I searched for 1 hour with no success.

 

omg that one is a nightmare! i painted my valve cover and just taped it up. I unbolted the 10mm bolt from the turbo, just look back there and youll see where it goes, then where it connects into the turbo is a pain in the ass to remove too. Its really lodged in there. Tried prying with clips tools and everything and finally got it out. Lost that 10mm bolt too and had to use some cheap bolt that doesnt fit well when reinstalling. Called dealer and they cant get it without ordering a whole turbo lol.

 

My plan is to do a VHT red wrinkle coat paint job, Can I leave the PCV and other lines on it even though it needs to be in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 degrees?

 

Your motor runs 200 degrees all day long, so I don't think it should be an issue.

 

Yeah, I was concerned about the plastic retainer clip on one of them.

 

your fine. ever baked headlight?

 

Yah...never thought of that...good point...I can't wait to do this I am soooooo excited to see how the wrinkle red comes out!

 

It'll be ricer, but good luck.
