First I'll deal with you Howdy then I'll help dc get his covers off. You are making another intellectual exercise out of a 450HP combination.
The ICL of 105 is
crank degrees. The LSA of 106 Is
cam degrees which = 212 degrees of crank rotation. Thus-212-105=107. Installing the cam +2 (crank) degrees means the cam is 1(cam) degree advanced.
I left my Euclidean hat at the haberdasher-but I know that's some pu$$y cams you guys got. And dc is bleeding off a lot of cylinder pressure with 106 LSA-those valves are open a long time together-especially with .501 net lift. A 110 LSA would sharpen-up the bottom end, especially with stock med-risers. It must be noisy but doesn't breathe.
dc- use RightStuff on the cover to gasket and brown axle grease on the gasket to head. It will not leak. Use a 1" wide paint scraper or spackle knife to get between the goo you have now and the head to remove the covers. Clean all surfaces carefully.
Take your time and you'll enjoy the work. If stuck, you could always ask Karnak to explain the Pythagorean Theorem-AGAIN!
