The tool can be rented from CBRacerX here on the forum.

$3200 is awfully high.

I am not sure how the cams would break if you removed the cam cover without the cam locks. They are held in by 2 other caps so they are not going to fall out.

They need lubrication to the bearings so there is a small amount of clearance even when they are torqued down. But I am not a pro so maybe some can shed some light.

Tip....use just a couple mm bead of sealant on the re-seal.
