Hi i recently got a 99 boxster and yesterday i dropped the trans to do the clutch RMS IMs and flywheel, Im trying to get specific information about locking the camshafts PLEASE HELP! I see 2 green plugs on the driver side cylinder head
and one plug on passenger side head- looking from under the car on the flywheel side, and then when Im looking from the inside of the car the two plugs are on the passenger side cylinder head ...so which two cams do i lock ? ln kit only has one locking tool for 5 chain motor included into the pro tool kit so i think that i have to lock the cams on one cylinder head only? and which one ? driver or passenger side cylinder heads?
For the chain tensioners do I remove just 2 accessible from under the car ?

Thanks for any help
