I pulled the cover without remoning the timing sensor. thus I removed the first cam with it. I thought, no biggie I'll just put it back in according to the timing marks. I had no idea the lifters couldn't be pushed up to clear the cams even when they are not on the ramp. so now, I turned my 1:00 hour job into a full, tank and valve covers removed PITA. I refused to unbolt the rocker assemblies. So I'm just compressing the valve springs and putting the cams back. I am on the very last forward most cam. it, unfortunately is "on the lobe" Am I in for a world of hurt, or will it be possible to get the cover back on when I am done. |

Just back off the rockers since you've got that far anyway. You'll have less hassle that way. |

d -- you CAN ease things back on, but pay heed to Mike's suggestion , , , , only eight bolts or so to loosen, no big deal (put the new gaskets in while you in there?) |
