Cam Timing Tools Question

I'm planning my winter project to change some lifters out. I think I need the P253 tool. I see that I can make a variation of this tool which uses bolts (or the heads) to hold the cams instead of the molded pieces that comes with the SIR tool. Will this work just as well? It seems that the intake and exhaust cam timing relative to each other is determined by installing the chain on the sprockets using the alignment marks (7 link spacing). It would be nice to have the aluminum bridges to hold the cams in especially as I'm going to attempt to lower the engine slightly and do this in car (I have a lift) although I think I can deal with that. The only other remaining question is how to get the exhaust sprocket installed back in the correct position. Perhaps with the crank locked its not an issue?
