Heh! Don't feel too bad - I was stumped at first too, until I
realized that they were referring to the valve covers as "cylinder
head covers". :-) (My guess is that the technical writers are in a
secret competition with the design engineers to frustrate shadetree
mechanics - since they can't invent special tools like the engineers,
they are stuck with dreaming up new names for common engine parts.) :-)
