but how do i get it off?
there is barely any access to it and it seems like i will most likely break it so id rather hear some opinions on it before i go and break yet another thing on my audi



another question i had was about the pcv how should i go about cleaning it? i dont have access to pressured air, can i just use a water hose and spray its insides to get it clean?


and lastly how would i go about pushing the lifters to get my passenger side intake and exahust camshafts aligned with the crank and driver side?(they have turned while i was removing the sprocket, it was stuck on there pretty hard) do i just put them in how ever they are and turn them until the square notch lines with the arrows on rear of head?(is it the arrows that are on caps number 5? if so i dont know how i will see it since there will be things over it)
