If you did that and did not remove the chain from the sprokets, then no need to lock them down.......just replace the bearing caps and re-torque ....? (in reply to FactoryJaguarTech) Post #: 18

When you put it back together the timing will be off. The tools are there for a reason. _____________________________ If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! (in reply to The_Ikon) Post #: 20
