                I believe the valve adjustment depends on which cam you =
have.

=20

Valve covers =E2=80=93 I can get the stock valve covers off with a bit =
of a fight.

=20

Oil filter =E2=80=93 I have the Motorsport right angle adaptor off the =
block and a Fram 3600 filter

Generally the valve lash is .010 intake and .012 exhaust cold. On a 271 =

Joel, 1) listen to the experts, and the shop manual re valve lash,

2) unless there's stuff in the way you can unbolt the transmission
crossmember and drop the transmission tail down with a floor jack enough to
remove the valve covers.  That should give you clearance to remove the
valve covers if they're anything close to stock.
