Valve Cover Removal - 6x6 Models
(Engine Installed)
The RANGER 6x6 models have a different engine mounting
system that makes it more difficult to access and remove the
engine valve cover. Use the procedure provided in this section
of the chapter to remove the valve cover and allow for engine
top-end component service.
1. Remove the seat base.
2. Remove the clamp from the valve cover breather hose and
remove the hose and valve cover vent.
3. Remove the 7 screws that retain the valve cover.
4. Remove the front dog house cover located in the floor panel
of the RANGER. The valve cover will have to be removed
through the dog house.
5. Remove the heat shield shown below and loosen the
exhaust mounts.
6. Remove the upper engine mount.
7. Loosen the lower engine mount bolts, but DO NOT
completely remove them.
8. Remove the front engine mount bolts from the engine case.
NOTE: You may need to support the engine during
this step by using a jack or by using wooden blocks
between the engine and frame.
9. Move the engine to allow the valve cover to be removed
through the dog house cover hole.
10. To reinstall, reverse steps 1-9. Torque all bolts to
specification as listed earlier in this chapter.
NOTE: It may be necessary to use a pry bar to get
the bolts back in during reassembly.
