Replacing rh valve cover gasket. Having trouble accessing bolt #12 of cover at bottom by firewall. Have tried multible extentions,swivels etc and cannot get a bite on it. Anyone who's done this have any ideas? Many thanks

All the tools needed are discussed in the COPS thread including what to use to access that bolt.

Thanks for reply Biddle. I do have the required tools so as I've stepped back from it for awhile its time to go at it again as sometime that's all it takes. Does the valve cover gasket replacement seem to be the main answer to this cop issue. I've done the windshield gasket already. Thanks again.
