Head Gasket (timing cover removal)
Hello again! Here are some pics to describe how I finagled the timing cover out, not gonna lie it is gonna take some time and patience but it should somewhat help this way (atleast for me), Support the engine closer the passenger side with a Jack, remove the mount on the passenger side, after valve covers are removed, proceed to remove the camshaft position sensors (I believe thats what they are but are circled in photo), then lift the engine to kinda angle the passenger side a bit higher giving you a bit more clearance, then attempt to rotate the cover in a counter clockwise motion until it is about 90 degrees from starting position, then lift cover up and out. With some luck, a prayer, and some harsh language, it should be possible. Just make sure you have the alternator and ac compressor plus and accessories off the timing cover first, also the bolts for the power steering pump (dont need to remove pump just bolts, same with ac compressor and alternator, just the mounting bolts). It also helped to move the power steering reservoir suction hose for a bit more clearance at the top.
Last year i replaced the alternator without touching the AC compressor by following instructions from this forum. Thank you for sharing all this info!
