A couple of people getting lucky with it still being in alignment does not for me suggest that others on the forum should be advised to IGNORE the Factory Shop Manual instructions.. particularly when they coincide with MY expert experience with GRAVITY....LOL
It's rather interesting.

The FSM makes absolutely no mention of a requirement to maintain tension on the chain when the camshaft sprocket is removed. Section 05/330, step 11 simply states "Remove camshaft sprocket".

This is the 617.95 manual.

YMMV
