You -may- get enough space on top to remove the valve cover, head, and cylinder. Haven't tryied though, and my own kit is a couple months in the future.
I was able to rotate stock yesterday and put the white RX3 on the rack for the project. I stripped the skins and started "staring in earnest" with a couple beers. I'll take it slow-as-she-goes and see if I can work around not dropping the motor. As I recall though, CSaddict said the motor came out quickly and easily.
