camshaft

[redrocket]

well,getting ready to replace cam and rocker's on my 89 300se,found a good used head for 350 bucks,my question is can i just back off the tensioner cap about 1/4 inch out and be able to get the chain and gear back on cam when reinstalling,according to a freind of mine that owns a foreign car repair shop this is the way he does it.
