do you have lower engine to replace 2000 mgm valve cover gaskets?

I've having trouble figuring out how to remove right bank valve cover. I had to remove master cylinder to get the left one off. Any suggestions?

Remove the wiper transmission module. That will give you a little extra room.

Have you tried this method? What looks like the problem is, is the fact that the motor sits too far back in the compartment with what I think is the heater core box in the way. Thanks for your answer. Having trouble with computer modem or would have replied sooner.

We usually have had no problems with replacing the gaskets. The drivers side is tight, but we usually do not have to remove any other parts. Removing the wiper module gives you 3 or 4 more inches clearance. Then you can lift it almost straight up.
