This is probably a long shot, but I'll throw it out there anyway. Does anyone in the Springfield, IL area have a valve adjusting tool that I may borrow? I can't seem to find one anywhere and I'd rather not pull the cams...it's probably going to come to that though.

I was hoping to avoid that technique as I tend to break things that way! But, I think I'll at least give it a shot. I don't have much chance taking the cams out anyway. The last owner completely rounded off the nuts holding the fan clutch to the pulley.
Very true, but it makes it much easier for me to get to the timing cover bolts. If the screwdriver technique fails me, I'll probably it a shot.
I must have been thinking of a different engine...it was super easy to get to the timing cover bolts! Cams are out...it was definitely easier this way since I need 13 new shims! Gonna go get them tomorrow morning. Hopefully the Yamaha dealer has them.
