Would it be possible to change out a cam without removing head?
Before I get the more reasonable- "OF COURSE TAKE OFF THE HEAD..." answers ,
work with me:
> Engine is on sturdy rotating stand.
> rockers removed to access lifters (trapped in lifter galleys).
> Balancer, front cover, etc, removed for access.
> Engine is inverted and lifters are coaxed (upside down) to top of block bore travel.
> Cam is removed and replaced.
>
> Engine is turned upright, lifters seat against cam and engine re-assembled.
This would not allow replacement of lifters which is a considered necessary, but I wonder if I missed anything that would prevent the idea.
