'94 pontiac transport plug wire protector

[kz94b5]

I need to tighten my front valve cover but cannot access two of the bolts as they are blocked by the wire guide for the front plugs. How do I remove the wire guide?? 1994 pontiac transport

I presume you have the 3.8 engine, lift it straight up it is in guides molded into the valve cover

jeffrv--thx response yes it's a 3.8--the 'dogbone'? will not allow the cover to be lifted--can the dogbone be removed to allow the cover removal w/o the engine relocating itself?? (i'm guessingthe dogbone is to keep the engine from rocking only, not really supporting any weight)

Sorry, forgot to mention that, the dog bone can be removed without the engine tipping. I loosened the bolt on the engine bracket, and removed the bolt on the upper rad support to swing the dog bon out of the way
