While there may be enough slack in the chain to move link by link, still need to take off the cam towers, otherwise spinning cam will be impossible by hand (or becomes two man job, one pushes chain, other turns cam with wrench)

Thanks for the 603 info........I've not done it personally on that engine.
I'm thinking that, with sufficient slack on the tensioner side, he can roll one link all the way over the cam sprocket so that he ends up with the slack on the drive side. Then, he turns the camshaft backward to tension the drive side and check the marks.
Or, if the cam must go forward, he first turns the cam forward and takes up the slack on the tensioner side and gives it to the drive side. Then, he rolls one link backward, all the way over the cam sprocket so the slack returns to the tensioning side.
What do you think?
