You need to set the motor to Z1 and use the proper tools to hold the cam while you loosen the cam nut (46mm). You risk bending valves if the cam or pistons move while you brake that nut loose. Those nuts are tight so be careful. I recommend you use the correct tools or take it to a shop with the proper sockets and have them loosen them for you. Just my two cents.
