Disconnect negative battery cable. Loosen, but DO NOT remove upper timing belt cover. Disconnect spark plug wires from spark plugs by slightly twisting and pulling off in a straight direction from spark plug,. Detach crankcase ventilation hose. Remove valve cover bolts by loosening diagonally, starting with bolts located on outside edge of valve cover, working inward
