How important is it to have all coils and spark plugs removed during the belt change? I have already changed all plugs and left only bank 1 and 5 open for TDC/camshaft alignment check as per WSM instructions. Is there any danger to having the coils and plugs in place as you manually rotate the engine?
Removing the plugs from all cylinders makes the engine easier and more controllable when turning it over. Spend the time.
