TDC: necessary?

[gt96stanggt]

i want to take off my driver side valve cover to check if my rockers are loose. when i take off the upper intake is it absolutely necessary to bring the car to TDC or does this not matter?

Doesn't matter.

you dont have to remove the DIST to pull the upper intake. i wouldnt worry about getting it TDC

Do you need to adjust your rockers? Are they stud or pedestal mount?

 

[R.J.]

You never HAVE to find TDC before taking anything apart. It just makes reassembly easier, and some reassemblys require TDC.
