TDC issue - help needed please …

[colacharlie]

I’ve taken the camshafts out of bank one on my 2002 Boxster- to change the variocam and solenoid but I forgot to set TDC before I began did this job.

Any thoughts on how to reassemble safely?

I did wonder if it’s as simple as putting a breaker bar on the crankshaft bolt and turning the engine until I find TDC. My worry is that because the camshafts are removed on bank one, and the lobes are loose with no pressure on them from the camshaft, will this cause a problem/ they fall out/ something gets bent if I turn the crank with camshafts removed?
