Out of curiosity - why would you want to? Do you suspect that the timing is off, perhaps due to chain or sprocket wear?

Having a grand total of one engine drop to my experience, I think I'd go for the drop, and adjust the valves while I had the easy access. It might be a wash as far as time invested, but jobs like this that demand some precision can be done to a greater degree of accuracy when access is good.

I understand not wanting to head down the "slope" though...
