LS1 - Part 4: Coil Pack Assemblies and Valve Covers Removal

To remove the coil pack assemblies, use a 10mm socket to unscrew the screws that are holding it down to the valve cover (circled in red in the pic below). You do NOT have to remove the other screws (circled in white in the pic below). these hold the individual coil packs to the assembly.

Set the coil packs aside and label them "PASSENGER SIDE" or "DRIVER SIDE." Then remove the four screws holding down a valve cover with an 8mm socket:

Then just pull the valve cover right off, and do the same for the other side. Label these "DRIVER SIDE" and "PASSENGER SIDE" accordingly also. When those are off, you will see the rocker arms, the pushrods, and the valve springs. This is what they look like:

Next I'll talk about removing the rocker arms and pushrods.
