No, taking off the covers won't Adjust the timing, you'll have to take off the valve cover on the top of the head. Also oil is only caused by a bad valve seal or piston rings. I would replace those while you're at it bc I did it and it was only a $30 job including rings seals and gaskets and it runs perfect now
