:) Success! I was finally able to separate the mount from the head and remove the valve cover. I got my son to "yard on it" yesterday as YukonGTmaster suggested while I removed the valve cover.

Also, thanks to east302 for the diagrams, they helped visualize what was behind the pulley. In this case the #10 bolts and #12 nut were the ones I removed. The one #10 bolt at the bottom had enough clearance to unfasten from behind the pulley but not to be removed. I guess it was designed that way.

I re-installed the valve covers and connected everything back. The truck started right away, idled for 10 minutes and no oil spots on the driveway so far. Will drive more as the week progresses.

Great thanks to all of you for the guidance, encouragement and help!
