Removing valve cover???

What is the trick to get the passenger valve cover out of my truck. It's a f-250 v10. Trying to find that engine tick.

If you're asking there is no trick just remember the bolts don't come out of the cover. Just loose them up and then pull the cover off.

No tricks. Just get ALL the bolts loose. There are a couple in the back corner under the HVAC box that are a little tricky to get to. Have to feel for them.

I had it bolted and loose, I could get it about half way out, but not high enough to clear the cam in the back.

curious if you had any leakage on that side?

I have a oil leak on the pass rear, i can not see. It seem like it is a volume of oil issue, as when i run it hard and stop it is worse. Just wondering if anyone else was haviong leaks back there.

And did you get it off ok?

It was damp with oil back there. No I didn't get it off, had it loose and high enough to see in, but couldn't get it out. I traded it in on a 7.3 a day later, the wrist pins were making noise.
