Replacing Push Rod Cover Seal
Hey all,

I've noticed a leak from the rear of the push rod cover on my 86 F150 inline 6. I'm curious if anyone has any tips, linked videos on tutorials or things to be mindful of when replacing?
Thanks!

Yep, that's the one. Is anything in the way of getting it off?

Fuel pump is pretty close with fuel filter. Just wanted to make sure something wasn't gonna shoot out at me or be a pain to put back if I pull the cover off.
