Rocker Arm Engine
As might be expected, the first step in removing the original rockers is to pop off the coil covers. If you're new to C5s, take note that while this operation isn't particularly difficult, it must be done carefully to avoid damaging the driver-side cover at the end of the fuel line slot.

This engine has obviously been treated to a set of MSD multi-fire coils, which provides a nice improvement in combustion efficiency.
