Wondering if there is a sticky or DIY thread on how to remove the valve cover on a non supercharged 1990 Cougar LS. Have searched in vain and cannot seem to find. The difficulty is in the clearance in unfastening a few of the buried (and I mean BURIED) nuts that hold the cover down. Any help is much appreciated.

Was able to find some posts doing some more in depth searching -- I am going to opt to do the "cut job" instead of removing the exhaust and the gas tank (uuugh).

I am totally confused.

WHY would you be removing the exhaust and gas tank for VALVE COVER GASKETS?

There is definitely a language barrier here ... I am subscribing, just to figure out what part is actually being discussed here.

I used to have a base model Thunderbird, so I have probably done whatever it is.
 
I had to replace my powersteering pump , so it worked out for me easier
Remove Charge pipes and intercooler
Remove supercharger and throttle body as a assembly this way you have ton of access ,
remove alt , power steering bracket from front of motor
You gonna have to work around the coolant lines but is a easy job ,

when you doing this , do yourself the favor and do your plugs and wires while you down there
