I can't imagine you're gonna' get the head up over the studs without removing
the cam and the tensioner stud. I have not yet had to do so with headstuds,
though, so it is just conjecture on my part. Regardless, I like to remove the
cam until the head is torqued back down, so that the engine can be rotated
without any valve/piston contact. Then after head is bolted on, put the crank
to TDC and lay the cam down with #1 lobes up and tighten it down.
