I am only speaking from doing two 617s but it seems to me what makes #5 tough is the fire wall in the way, Also when I took all the linkage off the top of the valve cover that stuff was in the way on the middle valves. The stubby handles solved that space problem but are, I think, too "stubby" to break them loose.
I was amazed at how fast it went w/o those long handles hitting obstructions.
