Sorry for the noob question. I'm just wonder how you remove the plastic engine cover on the 2.2 LS. Do you just pull it off or are there some screws holding it in somewhere? I looked all around it but couldn't find anything. I'm afraid to just start tugging on it.. but maybe thats what I need to do. Please help

 

remove the oil filler cap thing, and then just pull up and it will come off.

 

yo man...i have an ls....i took my engine cover off....its actually really easy no screws....it sits on two metal rods just wiggle and pull stright up

 

Coool... thanks!

 

the engine cover is there to just make it look cleaner? or is it un-needed?

 

so people get scared and wont work on it themselves

 

its to make u think the car is high tech LOL

 

I believe the foam on the underside of the cover is designed to melt in the event of an overheat and sieze up your engine before it catches fire. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
