No, you cannot see all of the tensioner by removing the cam covers due to curvature in the tensioner and very limited viewing access (you would be looking down a hole in which the tensioner is standing vertically). To properly inspect them, they need to be released (this is where the cam locking fixtures come into play) and removed. Not difficult, but it does take some time and require some specific tools...........
