"Why would you need to remove the heads?  The intake needs to come off to get
to the lifters, and all the stuff on the front to get to the cam, but I'm not
getting why the heads and exhaust manifolds need to come off.  Am I missing
something?"
 
 
The LAT20 cam kit came with valve springs and most other cam kits include
valve springs.  If you remove the springs the valves drop into the head and
then you have a problem. The exhaust manifolds come off because you are
removing the head. 
 
 I read somewhere that you can stuff string into the cylinder via the
sparkplug hole.  Then you crank the engine to bring up the cylinder to TDC. 
The string will keep the valves from dropping.  That may be one way around
having to take of the heads.
