My thought is that the locking tool is to lock the motor by locking the crank shaft. The tool locks the crank shaft in front. The picture above locks the crank from the rear. The cam lock is to keep the spring load in the head from moving the cams when there is slack in the chain (tensioner removed for that bank). Is that not correct? Or, is there another reason for having the engine at TDC?
