But... again... been there done that on this engine. I was literally in your shoes with your thoughts before I tore into it. I got and ignored the same advice I'm now giving to you. ...and they were right. It was a great learning opportunity but it wasn't worth it.
If you want to pull apart, repair, and rebuild an engine, go trash pick a lawn mower and make it run.
Even better, drill out the spot welds that attach the coil pack bracket to the engine mount. Then you can get the valve cover off and make a little space for yourself without having to take radiator off or dangle it to make space. A little touch up paint to keep the drilled section from rusting and no one will ever notice that you've drilled anything unless they look closely.

Good advice Chris. Especially if you plan on adjusting the valve lash more than once in your life.
