Hello, is there a short oil fill tube on this valve cover? Not just a cap? Can you post a picture, with most removeable oil fill tubes they will unscrew out, Some of them have tabs that need to be slightly bent in, but if you cannot remove it from the old valve cover you may have to buy a new one. Because the old one might end up breaking if forced out.
This is the new part looked up, is this the type you are trying to remove?
Its difficult to tell if there is an oil filler neck, if its removeable or not, I know that most that can come out are not usually so difficult to remove and twist out with the oil fill cap.
