Hmm.. I'm not sure to be honest. You may be correct in your assumption. I think it may be a bit difficult to hit that exact tooth on the main chain when setting the motor to TDC and orienting the cams properly on the head.
I bet it can be done, and maybe the only reason it hasn't been written yet, is the fact that it would take forever to write the exact directions within the manual, when they simply can say remove the VVts and chain by removing these two bolts....
Yes, they were on incredibly tight. I really thought we were going to shear the cam
