according to helms, the whole valve cover needs to be removed. Is that really necessary?

 

well no i guess,

they probablu want you to make sure you can see the timing marks as to get a full rotation

your supposed to losen it and then rotate the engine one ful turn so the line on the cams go all the way around

 

Ummm... what's so hard about pulling the valve cover anyway?

Dude, you have the massive array of nuts all randomly thrown around the valve cover, and then you have the PCV rubber plumbing dealy! Let's not even get into spark plugs and torque specs.

I guess it is not a task for the lazy. Seriously, massive array of nuts??????? Plugs and specs? Not that bad!
