You know i covered this in another post, only problem is they PM back that loosening the cam gears was the trick and fixed there problem... Anytime I've tried to not loosen the gears the locking tool gets jammed in the end of the cams because the belt tension tries (though it can't) to turn the cams, which inturns puts pressure on the locking tool and then it doesn't slide out... Any other method and your engine is off timing, by 2-3deg which isn't even a full tooth.. Skipping this step is lazy.
