Does this sound like chain tensioners?

Pelican's DIY guide to cam tensioner replacement: Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Camshaft Upgrade / Chain Tensioner Replacement - 986 / 987

Instructions say that it can be done with the engine still in the car but doesn't look like a trivial job.

I was embarking on that same quest but when my leg wouldn't hold me I sold the car to Jake, perhaps in the near future you guys will see a tensioner job or whatever did go wrong. A lot of the tensioner job is dis assembly, however, once all the way to the heads, it does look like a challenge, a job that is not insurmountable but will likely test your patience and every bit of skill you have. Even one of the local crackerjack indy's waived off on that job and he wrenches daily.

This thread is about CHAIN tensioners not Vario-cam tensioners

So is it possible to remove and clean the tensioners one at a time without locking the cams?

OK maybe I'll be the dick of the day here but... I don't remember seeing any other tensioners in the Bentley manual
