4.2 1HD-FTE plastic engine cover removal issue

David Clough · 2021-03-27T12:07:14+0000

I have removed the 4 holding bolts but the cover wont come off. It's probably never been taken off in it's life so that's 20+yrs now. I have disconnected the few rubber hoses but they weren't actually holding it down. I can feel a foam like material underneath around the edges. Could this be semi melted to the engine top and so holding it down? Any suggestions well received. I don't want to force it.
