Edit:
Disregard below.
I might not have wrapped my head around this.
Does a visual check of the valves (and an u derstanfing of where TDC is) not represent the camshaft timing??
In other words, with the valve cover off and spark plug out using the trusty screw driver method and spinning the flywheel to find TDC any discrepancy with the camshaft timing should also be evident....??
Or is there something else in the camshaft timing that can't be determined without gaining access to it?
Just don't want to rip the engine off the chassis and get in to the guts without understanding the requirement first.
Edit: Sorry Norm, just saw your response on the previous page
The valves and timing appear to be functioning as they should with both valves closed at TDC
