I used this when I did my valves, has a good explanation on it much easier than trying to churn through the rave pages.

I don't remember why it was arkward from the top, maybe I just really really really don't like doing anything that's going to remove bark, but I've also got a recollection I didn't have enough clearance to the radiator with a socket & bar, so I used a spanner from underneath. Anyhow it only took 20mins so she didn't complain too loudly.

I can't open or download that for some reason John.

I just had a squiz in RAVE and can't find a proceedure as such that's as simple as the haynes book had it.
Haynes showed it blow by blow, when a particular valve is fully open then it tells you which valve is at the back of the lobe, so it's that easy Nana could do it.
I can scan the page tonight for others.

All of my previous cars/bikes had OHC engines (see how young I am) which are as easy as just having one set of valves rocking and checking it's opposing pot, and you can actually sight the cam.
