I have the special cam and liming tools for sale. One is the Pelican tool that sells for $235 and the other is the complete set from Baum that sells for $600. Make me an offer. Used once and I will never tackle the job personally.

I think the 'book' says it's a 4 hr job per side for a Porsche pro.

That usually means that its a 6 hour job for me PLUS $300 for a part that I break PLUS $150 for another tool that I need to install the part that I broke. That is the life of a DIY mechanic.

Cam timing tools will not work for this, you need the cam retention tools which are completely different.
