Vlv last adjustment

[davidkerryedwards]

I don't see how taking off the radiator will give any more access to
the valve covers. Removing the bottom part of the doghouse should
give better access to the lower valve cover bolts, although they may
be more accessible from below. You could do the job without looking
at the timing mark if you look closely at the valves themselves and
adjust the ones with no pressure on them. I think the only reason to
use the timing mark is to follow the sequence specified by CAT as to
which valves are not under pressure at specific points in the cycle.
