I once spent 3 hours replacing the cam chain tensioner, which is only held on by 2 visible bolts. I think the tool I made involved masking tape, magnets, swivels, extensions, and the socket and wrench.
Good luck with those valves!

On the SOHC inline 4 it's crazy easy, actually everything seems crazy easy on this thing. On top of that everything seems bulletproof and not prone to needed adjustments. But I did put it off and worked on my camper instead. I did get the sidecovers from the painter back today, so I had to see what those would look like.
