36 prepare for valve cover removal.

37-1
10 mm boot holding fuel rail on. Driver
37-2
T-30 torx holding dipstick on passenger.
Messing with dipstick reminded me I needed to go ahead and drain oil.
38 interlude for oil and remove shear plate while I’m at it.
I. I numbered bolts since at least the front 8 are torque to yield and supposed to be replaced. 12 bolts and 2 nuts all 15mm. I may buy them but good grief it’s annoying when there is no Chevy dealer here.
39-a drivers side valve cover 9 x10mm bolts around parameter. Notice there are 10 holes in valve cover 9 of them have bolt guides one does not that one is where bracket for fuel line attached. (Blue arrow) I was confused at first and thought one of the guides had fallen out.
39b passenger cover. Same as driver but has all 10 bolts no pic.
