Hi Steve,

If you remove the original caps carefully by twisting whilst easing them out, taking your time and adding lubricant if required, they can be refitted afterwards. I did this on the LH bank and mine has not popped off or leaked.
New ones are such a tight fit that it's very difficult to drive them home fully and that's when they pop off or leak!

If you're referring to the inlet camshaft sprocket bolts Steve, they don't need to be touched* either to replace the tensioner pulley or, in fact, when replacing the timing belt.
Most importantly, do you have the INA set-up procedure for the tensioner pulley?

Simon

* This should read "removed" which was your original question. Sorry.
