Default another cam question - removing cams?

ok i know how to remove the cams, but what i want to know is can i remove just the exhaust cam without removing the intake cam

and i have read that you can just screw in the cam chain tensioner with a screw driver and then clamp it in place (or get some one else to hold it) so you don't have to remove it at all from the casing

or can some one tell me the best way of removing and refitting the tensioner without the special tool

naa double over head cam the front one does the 2 intake valves the rear does the two exhaust valves, the cam chain keeps them both in time with the crank (2:1 crank turns twice cam shaft turns once)

You dont need the tool for the FI engine tensioners. Remove the cap and the spring inside and then you should be able to lift the chain off the top sprocket and remove the camshaft.

You may need to displace the inlet camshaft as well to get enough slack, but you can keep the teeth engaged with the chain.

fitting first gen intake cam in my exhaust cam side, should give 2-4bhp extra midrange and top end "apparently"

ps done the swap, had to remove Cam chain tensioner ..... didn't have the gaskets so used silicon gasket sealer on them but will get new ones soon
