Try turning the crankshaft so the rockers move into a different position.

I agree with these two gentlemen.

Turn the crankshaft to TDC on the compression stroke; this will release any pressure from the camshaft on the valve rockers. Then pull and rotate the valve cover until it comes free.

Yes, I didn't think of this, I was going fast and needed to attend a vfd meeting.

Tomorrow, will turn the crank and twist and turn it every which way to Sunday to get it off. There must be a solution since this is a common procedure needed. It would be crazy if they designed it this way. yes, will pull the plug first!
