You need to remove 32 bolts for the tupperware and tank, 4 nuts for the coils, 4 spark plugs, 6 valve cover bolts and the TDC access port. Fingers can get blistered even before you get to the valve adjusters.
More seriously, after 4 years and 20000 km, only one exhaust valve was 0.001" too tight. And many thanks to your favourite deity, the '86 cams are not pitting.
