I'm pretty sure you have to remove the heads, at least one of them. One has the opening on the front where you can remove the cam but if I remember correctly, the other is pulled out on the firewall side.

shit.
maybe I could pull the engine off the mounts and rotate/move forward a little.
definitely not pulling the head off, would rather pull the motor.

you can pull the heads with the engine in the car.

yeah, but I dont want to buy another head gasket as well when there's maybe 10k on them.

Ive got other reasons to pull the motor so it will probably happen that way.

I'd pull the motor. It gets faster each time you do it...
