I never thought about why it would make a difference one way or the other....that is until my engine was back in, and I was reminded how close everything is under the hood. 

The alignment adjustments using the cam bolt can be performed easier with a big wrench from the wheel well area, I'll bet.

not with the car sitting on the alignment rack and with the tires on it....that's why the access panels in eng compartment

You lost me... :scratchchin:

Don't the access panels allow you to get to the nuts (inside engine bay) from the wheel well?

Excuse my ignorance....I'm learning as I go.... :icon_smile_big:
