Actually, it was removed that way. See my previous post in this thread here:

Okay, I have a Q....how did you get the cam cover emblem off?

TIA

Man you guys are amazing! Both of those cars are going to be stellar when finished!

I just carefully pried up on the underside of the edges of the emblem. Worked my way around the edges until it came loose. Most of the old adhesive pad was left on the cover. It actually wasn't that hard.

Nice work, it looks like you pay attention to the details. Cannot wait to see it completed

I know that I can't be the first one who's pulled the engine and transmission from above. I pulled them with a cherry picker type hoist and load leveler with the car on jackstands and hood still installed, so I know that it's possible. It was tight, but not that difficult. Shifter was still installed as well.

I've run out of reserved spots for updates (If we didn't have that stupid 6 picture limit it wouldn't be a problem). Who do I talk to about getting some more blank posts with my ID inserted, or is that even possible?

New update posted.

According to Z Factor, there really isn't any way of inserting posts in the middle of an existing thread. The forum software automatically arranges all posts according to the time-stamp of when they were first posted. I then asked him if the 6-picture limit (which is, of course, the source of this whole problem) could be either removed entirely or just increased to around say 15 or 20 pictures, but I got no response. I guess that means "no" to both suggestions.

So I came up with a creative way to free up some of my posts at the beginning of this thread to make space for more updates. All the pictures in the first post are actually only 3 separate, very long pictures.

They are a bit slow loading because the file host I am using for them isn't very fast. There are not many free hosting services that allow direct linking and all the normal photo hosting services have limits on picture size.
