Second engine cover help! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I can't figure out how to remove it. I have looked on here and on the rest of the web. I have seen remove 4 bolts. But I can't get the silver part over it to move. (I am a car newbie)

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

If you want to remove your engine cover, all you do is remove your oil filler plug and then lift at the front and its all yours.

2SSRS,

Thanks. I have the top cover removed. Now I want to remove the little one under that

I am still searching but can't seem to find it.

Thanks for responding though 2SSRS

Are you talking about the bracket that holds down the top silver & black cover or the Plenum? The all black ribbed one under the cover over the valley?

Sorry I was confusing. Some people call it the Clam Shell.

I finally found a forum on here that sort of talked about it. What I had to do was pull up on the fuel lines. (They popped right out) And then lift up and slide the clam shell out.

Here is a pic of the finished job
