Not a bad job at all. All you really need to do is pop off the side inspection plate, roll the engine over with the pull starter to TDC. (there will be marks you can see) Pop the valve cover and do your adjustments. Pretty easy compared to some like my 325 magnum where you have to pull the tank to get at the intake side due to lack of room.
