removing valve cover bolt

I am not sure which star looking bolt you are talking about other then the torx bolt in the cam sensor.

If that is not it, can you get a picture of it?

However, here is the process for removing the head cover to see if this answers your question. Thanks

I will send you a picture when i get home. But this is the one:

Yeah. A picture would be great but I don't remember taking that off when doing this. However seeing it may help. Plus I can stop by the local dealer in the morning and get a closer look at a 3.6L if needed. But let's start with the picture and go from there. Thanks

Right here.

This part that I circled? I am pretty sure that is a a stud where you clip the harness to it. Either way, no it should come off without removing that. Looks like you have the valve cover bolt already loose next to it so you should be good.

Yes, that's it.

Cool. You should be good. Let us know if you need anything else on this. Thanks.

I found one rocker arm that is bad, I am about to replace it. what is the torque spec for when tightening the camshaft bracket bolts?

I am attaching the entire engine torque specs just in case you need other things as well or in the future.

Excellent, thanks.

you are welcome. Let us know the result when you get it wrapped up. Thanks
