Got turbo type lower valve covers on 3.0 and need to know how to modify them so they will come off ok after the motor is installed. I understand some material needs to be removed but I have never seen them done. Does anyone have photos of this mod? It would not be cool to get the motor in and find I have to pull it again to adjust valves. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

I used a belt sander, pass side, from the back fwd about 1/3 the length, .400 depth seems about right. Do not install the motor with the covers on. If you can put them on with the motor in place, you've cut far enuff.
