If you need more access you can unbolt the engine mounts and jack the front of the engine up.

I haven't tried swapping the timing gear with the cam in the vehicle. You would have to be careful about getting the timing marks lined up. There is a woodruff key on the cam that comes into play. You will also need a long feeler gauge. End play, clearance between the cam gear and thrust plate needs to be set at .001-,005.

And remember, you only have one shot at doing this right and you will have to work fast. If it were me, I would pull the cam.
