Im in the middle of tearing the valve cover off, and before I go any further I'd like to ask for direction. I'm following the how to on this forum and have all the bolts off except the center one. I realized I should've found TDCC beforehand, and was wondering, is it easier to find it before the cover is off or after? I was intending to follow Serowbot's method of watching/feeling the intake rockers.
In other words, is it possible to find where I need to be by the camshaft position? If so, what would that position be?
Boy some of those bolts are in really tight spots, especially the two under the valve inspection covers. The baseball mitts glued to my wrists dont help either!
Edit next morning: Cover's back on and torqued down. Just trying to find the energy to adjust the valves before I button it all back up. That head cover is tight as all heck to fit through the frame!
Also, at this point, I think I'm going to do the spark plug door mod, just trying to find a spare bolt in my bolt box to decapitate.
