Ditto on the knowledge and confidence. However all it really takes is a 14mm wrench bent and thinned out in the head. 2 bent wrenches helps but not absolute. And of course the feeler gauges. You will also need a 27mm deep socket and 1/2" driver for it. My first attempt was about 4 hours. Now, excluding valve cover removal, it is about an hour or less. I was able to bend a cheap set from AZ with a breaker bar and a vise.
