Angry Valve cover and PCV removal

OK so a rant....

Is there anyone else that would like to meet the engineer who put that PCV in the location it is in and give 'em a sock in the nose? I mean the wiring harness and other lines make the top Torx screw impossible to get at. I am working on mine right now and the bottom wasn't too bad but still a pain, but the top... It is in there tight.

The Torx is a pain, don't use a hex head that wrench or standard socket may be able to grab onto.

Oh well I will get it at some point.

Rant off....

I have a small palm ratchet. Seems like someone got happy tightening the top screw.
