    when installing the vmax tensioner do i need to take out the bolt on the end to relieve the pressure then reinstall once mounted? thanks!

    Yes. Make sure you follow the procedure in the book. I would even recommend removing the valve cover to make sure. Then when done double check the timing to make sure nothing slipped.
