Upper timing belt cover?

I'm trying to remove the upper cover to see if my belt broke. I unscrewed the two bolts (10mm) but its not comming off. What the hell is going on? 91 sedan d15b2

You do have to remove the valve cover to get that cover off. If your checking to see if the belt broke just shine a light down into the oil cap have someone turn the engine over and see if the valves move. If they dont move its broken. I would do that before you take off the valve cover and have to replace the gasket for nothing.

I have the same exact engine. You don't actually have to remove the valve cover, just lift it up a little. Also, if the gasket is in fairly good shape, it is reusable. This would be a good chance to take the valve cover off and inspect or replace the gasket. I've cleaned old ones up as well as the valve cover with success.
