...Remove the valve cover.
Use zip ties to lock the timing chain to the timing gear/sprockets. Now, you cannot lose timing.
You need to carefully lay things out now. Loosen and remove the bolts holding the cams to the sprockets. DO NOT DROP!!!! I then use a clean box with clean cups in it. I remove each cam bearing and place into a labeled cup. Make sure you use a marker with an arrow to point which way is up. Remove all the bearings 1 by one.
Now lift out the cams making sure the sprockets and the chain do not fall into the engine. Use the bolts to loosely re-attach the new cams to the sprockets. Now OIL/PRELUBE and loosely replace the bearings. Now torque the bearing, then the bolts. Finally remove the zip ties that guaranteed proper timing.
No TDC, No nonsense. ZIP TIES (2 or 3 per sprocket) will hold the timing and save torment.
Best,
C
