The hardest part is getting the valve cover off. If you can handle that, you're golden.

The hardest part is figuring out what the hell to do when you crack your cam cap!   :shock:  :motorsmile:  :beers:

Seriously, it's not difficult.  Just be consious of things falling into your engine, and follow the torque settings when buttoning back up.  This site has all kinds of good info to read before you dive in.  Don't be discouraged, and good luck.

The last adjustment I made was a piece of cake, it was all the other stuff that went wrong. See me my post  "valve adjust gone bad."
