64 Dart 5.7 hemi update thread.
I was thinking about my groove i wanted to cut so that the valvecover bolt could be removed and the cover lifted up without needing to have the engine out. Then i thought of a better and easier way to access the bolt. Instead of cutting the groove i was thinking about, i thought why not just cut an access hole instead. I could cut a square hole in the fenderwell so that i could have access to the bolt. I figure the valve cover bolt could be left off when installing the engine, then through the fenderwell and with a swival socket attachment (and the wheel off) i could just put the bolt on through the hole. Then when it was on, i could have a small plate to cover the whole back up. Looking at my car and the location of the troublesome valve cover bolt location, im pretty sure its higher up then were the coil over mounts up.
Tomarrow when im taking a break from working on the basement, im gonna take a closer look at it. I think this is a better way to go and itll look nicer. Some other mopars have access openings anyway, so this wont be any different.
