cam locking problems

Glad to hear it. You are in the same spot as me now. Time to take some deep breaths and pull the chain tensioners.....

I think I am going to use the 2nd Cam lock on the flywheel side.
I know the 2nd lock is for the 5 chain motor but I figure it can't hurt anything to put it on one of the two.
Thoughts?

I did. Belt and suspenders. I also removed and replaced all the chain tensioers. Cam plugs are cheap.

So you have bank 1 (cylinders 1-3) locked with the long cam lock and bank 2 (4-6) flywheel side locked with just the single ?
Thanks again for your help.

I just realized I referred to the "bamks" incorrectly in earlier posts.
Cams have 2 banks, 2 cams each.

I am planning on only removing tensioner bank 1 and the IMS tensioner.
