The two questions i have i hope the OP can answer , but you all may know by now .
1. To do dit in the car , how far does the car have to be off the ground to do it comfortably ? i get it would vary if Santa clause was doing it vs a Tim Burton character, but thought you guys might have some idea.
2. the turnbuckle looks interesting, where exactly are you bracing it on the cams ? would that be against the lock tool at the far end after fastening them to the cams ? i just am having trouble picturing it and how its used... I understand the principle as you have essentially built a press. just not sure where you are presing exactly.
Hopefully i have expressed my questions clearly, and since this is my first real post, i hope I have not broken any protocols.
cheers all .

well since no one responded i may as well wrap this up. I had the car about 17 inches off the ground from the bottom of the car to the ground. This was plenty of room and i was able to work comfortably.
I was able to replace variocam pads on both sides.. interestingly on my P1324, it was the exhaust cam that was off, so not the worn pads as that cam is driven by a chain.
reset timing and replaced tensioners with upgraded ones.
