I think you would be OK, if you:

Put the engine at TDC for Bank 1, lock bank 1, swap lower rear tensioner.
Put engine at TDC for bank 2, Lock bank2, swap upper front tensioner.

I would say you could swap the IMS tensioner with either side locked, at either TDC.

Don't forget to put new tensioners in a little tray of oil and plunge them in and out till they fill with oil and stiffen up.

I am not an expert, nor do I play one on television, use above advice at your own peril.

regards,

Steve
