Is the tool strictly necessary? I am looking to do this and every video I watch, or guide I read says "be careful, don't touch the camshafts and you should be ok."

 

What I'm doing is buying a head from a dead engine on trademe to try it before doing it on my own car. :)

I have the Vanos Adjustment Wrench and the Alignment Set (didn't come with the crank locking pin but i managed without). I tried using a set of Slip Jaws for the rotation of the exhaust sprocket but failed miserably and bit the bullet.
