THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION,
and is yes. loosen the lash adjusters.
so you can get the cam in stalled, and follow the cam cap , torque sequence order
the screws are like 90 inch./lbs. and if the cam cocks funny, you can exceed that. do not stress those screws.
also the head gasket will be thicker, (new) and lash will be wrong, so loosening the lifters is no big deal,. it needs adjusting anyway.
at page 20 see words, DAMAGE ( cam out or in , unevenly) there will still be some lefter force but you will reduce it. (with lash adjusters very loose)
