cam cover off V70-XC70 2006

Good morning Klaus,

I finally resorted to getting under the car, armed with a mallet and a shortened broomstick handle and with my pal's help to locate the end of the stick I was able to break loose the aft side of the camshaft cover. Took a few hits here and there and the handle lost a bit of wood but it finally let go.

If I can get the picture up it shows the two camshafts [with red dots showing original position] and the camshaft cover. We had a time with those spark plug boots holding everything down when we were trying to wrestle the cover away from the head. Should have removed them first.

Another small snag was one of the three bolts holding the gear onto the camshaft had to be partially screwed out to allow more space while extracting the camshaft from the head.

Any recommendations for cleaning the surfaces of the head and the camshaft cover?

Bob
