I would like to keep the cams in place so I can take the whole head to a shop for cleaning, exam and repair. Of course, I would have to take the exhaust cam out to repair the valve but I would prefer to do that on the bench. However, what about near the Valvetronic gear? Doesn't look like there is much room?
