Note before taking the sprockets loose from the cam shafts - When the sprockets are on their timing marks, take a look at the aligning slots on the other ends of the shafts. You will see that they are parallel, but not on the same plane. What I mean is, I believe you will find the intake cam slot is slightly ABOVE center while the exhaust cam slot is slightly BELOW center. So if you fashion a locking tool, there needs to be a slight offset built in. You don't want to simply put the slots in line with each other. If you do, each cam will be retarded just a smidge. Or worse, you may get one of the cams 180 deg out of time. (Ouch!)
