Is there a way to set the exhaust cams without taking off the valve covers?

Got my intake valves set, thank you for that bit of info. my cams were 180 out. I can't see the valves to tell which ones are opening and closing.

Hi,

You will need to remove the valve cover to access the valves. Are you getting ticking or something that leads you to believe they are not properly adjusted? They should automatically adjust with this design.

Let me know.
