Is a camshaft lock tool a necessity for a timing belt job on a 960? 900

Hi,

I'm thinking about buying a 960 -- this would be my first Volvo with a 6 cylinder -- and the car has 144K miles and an unknown timing belt history. Obviously if I buy it I will drive it straight home (slowly) and redo the belt and rollers and water pump.

Is a camshaft lock a requirement, or is it optional if you are careful? I watched a vid and the job doesn't really look much worse than doing a 240 or 740, and I've done about 5 of those. The dual cams are giving my pause though.

thanks in advance.

Thaddeus
