i actually find a lift harder to do work like this,
i had it about 18 inches off the ground on jack stands... and that was perfect..
On a lift you are reach over your head all the time and that is actually hard on your shoulders neck and back..
On jack stands lying on your back you are just essentially reaching forward, which personally i found a lot easier. A little trickier getting the cover on with sealant on it, but a couple of dry runs and it was fine.
you can get the timing tool on one side of the engine , but you cant on the other so have to eyeball it. Funny thing was the side i eyeballed is better than the side I put the tool on.
More than one way to skin a cat i guess.
