If you aren't going to lock them both, you could just pop the caps on the passenger side (whose chain is at the back of the car, right next to where the IMS is driven by the crank) and verify that things haven't shifted. As long as you put the engine at TDC and don't turn the crank with the tensioners out, you should be just fine.

I used to use M1 0W40. After switching to Motul 10W40 alot of the startup rattles and other noises were greatly reduced.
