JFP,
Yes, I was planning to use the cam locking tool before attempting to loose the bolts on the valve cover, but honestly never tough about using the center holding fixtures since I was planning on removing the covers, clean them thoroughly, applying a thin bead of sealant (Curil T..?) and reinstalling the covers right away.

Thank you for your comments!
