Oh, please don't. Even though these are non-interference engines (thank god), the potential for snapping your timing belt or ruining the teeth on your cam gears is not worth the look (IMO anyway)

I feel like I've been saying this too much lately in a few threads, but check your ignition timing after you check your valve timing. I'm pretty sure fairly advanced ignition timing (maybe it's retarded timing, don't remember for sure) could cause high exhaust gas temps (hence the red headers). Like I said though, check it after you set your valve timing or you'll just have to do it twice
