I folded the rear seats and used plastic lining to protect the carpet (the ones you use for painting the house) and heavy, thick cardbox to protect the plastic, the engine was heavy enough so no shifting occurred and no stain damage to the tan interior, of course taking the turns slowly...

thanks, gilles. my concern is more w/ the engine & hoist arm both clearing the opening.
anyone on here time one of these motors before? looking through the factory manual, FEAR here seems to me to be much ado about nothing. my issue isn't really with the cam alignment between intake & exhaust; it's timing of the exhasut cam w/ respect to the crank.
can i not just pull the extraction pump, loosen the sprocket bolts & line the cams back up with my match marks? it seems that all the factory tool does is to rotate the exhaust cam until the notch points exactly at the intake cam. am i missing something?
