No question, there is a big advantage in NOT removing the cam tower bolts- - this is a good idea. I have one of these (original design) tools, and I didn't realize just how sensitive the cam tower positioning is until I actually replaced a cam. Then, there is the small, but real possibility of getting a big surprise while retorquing these bolts - losing torque on them would be a head-off nightmare.
