We Went a Little Too Hard.. Tearing Down LSXcalade's 427 To Find The Problem (Cutting it Close)
What happens here
The presenter removes the valve covers, revealing the rocker arms and pushrods. He mentions that the valve covers, along with the turbochargers, were originally metallic orange but were inadvertently powder-coated a bland pumpkin orange by a third party, which he dislikes. He then removes the rocker arms, noting the difficulty of accessing some of the bolts due to tight spacing and the design of the engine. He also removes the bolts holding down the valley cover.
Goal: Expose the rocker arms and prepare for cylinder head removal.
