It`s recommended. Only one side of the cams is held down if you pull the cover which will expose the cams to a single sided stress because of the pressure from the valve springs. The camshafts are basically rigid steel tubes and they may break. The chance is not high that they will break, but they can. And you will need to hold them down once you put the cover back on, so you need a tool. You can get a set for cheap on ebay or amazon, or you can make your own. My build thread has pictures about the set I used, that may give you an idea if you wanna build your own.
Good luck!
