How Do U Remove Top Engine Cover - 5.7L

[Mag300c]

I am going to mod my engine cover, but I would like to know how to remove it safely. I am going to paint the Gray part the same as the car exterior, beautiful Magnesium. Can anyone help me ? Thanks, in advance.

And moisten the cups when you want to put it back.

Very good advice. The first time I did a party trick and pulled the thing off HEMI 57 I was sweating on getting it to pop back on.

I used some spray Silicon shots and hit the tops of the studs and the cups to make the popping on and off easy.

No jokes please...

You better hope so.
When I took my cover off to paint it and then I went to replace it, it went on good, but after, I noticed that the engine cover was touching the hood roof.
I didnt know what to do.
Ernie from Avon told me to use silicone, or the Black Magic tire wet and I did and it snapped right in.

Mag300, dont forget to do this, or your paint till rub and look bad.

Does leaving the cover off present any problems?
