*The two rocker assemblies have been successfully removed.
*The camshaft sprocket has been successfully removed.
*The camshaft bearing towers plus the camshaft itself have been successfully removed.

These comments might only be differences in nomenclature...
^^I'm not sure of what is being referred to as the "camshaft timing gear" by vaman4215.
^^Ditto the "cam followers" by rwthomas1.
^^According to the FSM, Haynes, and my eyeballs (), there are only *two* 6mm allens inside the head/timing chain gallery--Stevo. Gettin' them out is cause for a tense moment or two though Of course, there are two others nearby but *outside* the head.

As far as turning the engine over right now, well, in two words, extremely unlikely. Call me gutless or wise, no matter
Interesting idea of placing a bit of tension on the hoist/chain/head combo and then tapping on the head at the manifold side.

Thanks for helping to think this through, I appreciate the extra brain power being put on this-
