Woof. I found the directions in my all data. It looks like I need to take all 3 tensioners out at the same time. I guess I’ll measure my piston location in the bore on #1. Lock 1-3 cam with the new Chinese tool I got from Amazon that was correct this time. And I have a plate I made with the opposite offset I used to lock 4-6 cam when I did the ims. I’ll lock 4-6. And take them out in the order in alldata.

Unless you guys tell me no, I’m going for it.

I know JFP told someone not to bother with those ramps. And I should have listened. But I got lost on YouTube and watched Jake Raby saying they fail too. I was going to be right there, how hard could it be. The moral of the story. Either listen to JFP or ask for clarification.
