When you said FSM, Are you talking about the Folded Spectrum Method?
Are you saying that if I don't do it exactly the way the book says to do it, Im headed for disaster?
that would mean taking off the front of my engine to get to all the timing components, I thought I might be able to make a 4-5 hour job a 1 hour job just by leaving the chain hooked to the sprocket and elevated while I R&R the cam. I was able to work around the FSM replacing the cam on my little 190E about 50K ago and all is still well.
I do understand what you are saying though, there is a procedure that needs to be followed, but some things sometimes are unnecessary
