Valve cover...tuning cam gears?
So im getting ready to upgrade my head and valve train and head to get the motor tuned. My question is where does one find a valve cover that shows the cam gears so that they cam be adjusted? unless im totally missing something the only way for the tuner to get to them would be to remove tha valve cover and this does not seem practical...so those of you who have been to the tuners to have cam gears dialed in and what not how does that work. I have never been to the tuner or on a dyno so im just curious. I finally have a build worth tuning.

My suggestion would be to buy a cheap used cover and cut it to expose the cam sprockets for tuning purposes. Then once the tuning is finished, you can reinstall your factory cover.

Well some people choose to cut their stock cover, but I don't favour that option because then it leaves the timing belt and cam sprockets exposed after the tuning is finished.

Those were my thoughts on this...and getting a rock or so other piece of debri in there would not be a good idea. So in theory will any B series valve cover fir on any B series? I have a B16b so would i need one from like an si will any one work?
