After reseaching this site I intend to employ the following guidance: 1. Index the crankshaft to TDC and secure using a 8mm or 5/16 inch locking pin 2. Lock the exhaust cam on bank 1 using the recommended cam lock tool This assures that the IMS and the cams in bank 1 do not move when removing and replacing the tensioners. The question I have is do I need to lock the exhaust cam on bank 2 (cylinders 4,5,6) using the cam lock tool in order to replace the tensioner that is located at the top front of the engine? Thank you, Eric 98 Boxster
