Default Cam install...

At one point I saw someone refer to a write-up about a way to install cams without having to take everything off. Does anyone know about this write-up. I believe it basically invloved just taking off the valve-covers and using a tool to hold the chains in place.

I believe one of there are a few different kinds but it's called the "Anderson timing chain rentention tool" or something like that. I heard it's not a very good idea to use and one small slip up and the timing cover is coming off anyway. I'm also not familliar with whether it can be used if you wanna degree the cams and/or change the valve springs or what not
