Ok I was looking to see how to remove the engine cover and I was just wondering how. Do you have to remove the oil fill spout? I couldn't feel around the engine because it is too hot and I don't want to just go tugging and tear something up. Basically is there a how to for idiots like me?

yes, twist off the oil spout, it takes half a turn counter-clockwise

Like Toasty said, also remove the nut on top center of engine cover. There'* also a hook back near firewall you will have to slip out from under.

i thought those two were obvious

all of that was obvious, i'm just a moron sometimes. thanks guys for the help

Yeah, okay lol I didn't know if it was that obvious. Good deal.

I did have to get ahold of my fill neck with a pair of smooth jawed adjustable pliers

ok that sounded professional, a rag and channel locks

to late now but you should have just kept the cap on while twisting.
then both would remove.

Yeah guess that would work :P It'* all good.
