The KV6 is, of course, a quad cam engine and there IS a way of locking the camshafts: use the service tools!

I always tippexed marked all sprockets, just in case I lost the timing/dropped the locking device.

The KV6 service tools make Tippex marks redundant. They're unique in that they lock the camshafts but allow rotation of the sprocket wheels which greatly assists the belt lacing process. If you ever come to do it, you will understand what I mean.
