How can you take off the tension valve off of a 92 ford f150?

Would over tight or too loose valves make your 76 350 smoke?
First of all are you talking about the valve covers or the valves them selves because if your talking about the valve covers then over tightening them will break the gasket in between the valve covers and yes the engine will smoke and if your talking about your valves themselves then the only thing that will happen is the intake valve will let oil into the cylinder and will foul out the spark plugs
How do you remove Ford e250 valve cover?
Removing the valve covers on an E series Ford van can be a challange. I have read many accounts where people are suggesting raising the body off the frame or removing the engine. Yes, these are effective ways to access the covers but easier said than done. The fastest way that I found is to support the engine with a jack and remove the motor mounts on both sides. This will allow the engine to drop down a good inch or more and will allow you to remove the covers with a little twisting and turning. A tip to make it easier is to remove the bolts and groumets from the cover as they tend to hook on things as you pull the covers, also you have to pull the covers out the front of the engine as the cam gear is in the way. Good luck, jims grey garage.

How do you replace valve cover gaskets on a 1986 Chevy Camaro?
take the bolts out that hold the covers to the engine and pull the covers off then scrape the old gaskets off the valve covers real good and make sure where the gaskets contact the heads of the engine that it is also clean, get some permetex and put some on the valve covers where the gasket goes in to hold them in place when you lay the new gasket in place and let it dry for about 10 minutes and then your ready to put the covers back on and tighten the bolts down to about 10 to 15 ft. lbs.
How do you get the lifters out of a ford 3.0?
If it's an overhead valve engine that has the cam under the intake and not in the heads then you need to remove the intake manifold and the valve covers. Then remove the rocker arms and push rods. Use a valve lifter removal tool to make this job easier. The parts stores like Autozone usually have a loaner you can use for that. I do recommend using a Rust/Varnish remover type spray to soak down the lifter bores BEFORE attempting to remove the lifters to make it much easier. Good Luck!

Why does Engine burns oil on startup?
sounds like bad valve guides, and/or rings If engine runs smooth when hot? I don't think it's the guides I would check the valve seals. also need to pull valve covers to make sure oil return holes are open in the heads.
