Removing the engine cover - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I want to take the engine cover off my '08 TCH and paint it. Does it just pull off or is there something holding it on?

There are 2 10 mm nut holding it to the valve cover. The cover should come off (nothing holding it) after you remove that 2 nut.

Thats what I was thinking. I saw the 2 nuts but wasn't sure if there was anything else to look for. Appreciate the help.

What color are you going to paint it?

Probably white. Someone else on this forum painted his and it looked pretty good. Considered "Carolina Blue" but think white will look better.
