Agree completely. I understand a few folks have gotten away with it without locking the cams, and I also read that 5-chain engines are less susceptible to jumping a tooth during the process, but I don't like taking chances. I borrowed LN's official toolkit, which includes the cam-locking widget. BTW, I read the tensioners can be simply loosened instead of removed. What's your thinking about that?
