Valve Adjustment HELP!!!

I am going to adjust valves on my '02 and so far have the valve cover off, so far so good. Now I see that I need to move the engine to TDC which is noted on the pump gear housing. HELP...is this pump gear (with the indicator line) under the Crankcase Breather??? I have the hose off and can't seem to get the Crankcase Breather off if that's where the gear is located.Great pictures and help on the link here for adjusting valves but the part about the gear with the TDC mark was not shown. I have the Dodge Shop Manual on CD and it shows the breather as coming off....how do I get it off and if I do get it off, how do I get it back on securely? I hate to start prying on stuff and break it. Waiting for further instructions. Thanks.

Use an oilfilter wrench on the big black part,as you face the engine turn left. Look inside the hole with a shop mirror,you will see the line.

    THANK YOU BOTH. This was missed in the Valve Adjustment instructions and had me stumpped. Thanks to yo both.

    Most like 10/20 on the valves. I have had good results with 8/18. It helped the spool just a taste.

    Got the valves dajusted to 10/20. Most were good with no change. Now on to install the RV275 injectors. :stuned: Thanks for the help.

    You are going to like the rv's. They are not mind numbing, but very nice. A little gain in the mpg's too.

    hell setting 5 on worn stockers is amazing! i can only imagine what a little bump in hp from the 275's will feel like when i get em and change the clutch!:hyper::hyper::hyper:

    Rv's are nice with a stick shift but do very little with a slip-o-matic.

    Actually when I installed my 275's I noticed a big difference off the line. I have the auto and I can now spin the tires even with the limited slip differential. No brake locking required. I couldn't do that before with the stock injectors.
