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?

Hello Colacharlie, I am Not an expert, but since you are removing the cams the valves will be closed, and rotating the crank should not cause any damage to the valve train... It would be interesting to hear more comments from people with more experience.
